A Maple Tree is a common Tree that grows from a Maple Seed. It yields Maple Syrup every 9 days when tapped (4 days if use Heavy Tapper). It can be chopped down with an axe, producing Wood, Sap, possible Maple Seeds, and possible Hardwood (if the player is a Lumberjack). Normally, shaking a Maple Tree has a chance of producing a Maple Seed, but during the last two weeks of Fall (includes Fall 14), a Hazelnut is dropped instead.
A planted Maple Seed grows through four stages before reaching maturity (with twice as much time spent at stage 4). If fertilized, this takes five days (even in Winter). Otherwise, there is a 20% chance per day of growth, except in winter when trees do not grow. The median time to maturity is 24 days, although individual tree growth times will vary considerably.
Chopping a stage 2–3 tree with an axe has a chance to drop one wood, depending on foraging level. This doesn't happen when cutting it with other tools.
Maple Trees outside the farm can also be tapped or chopped down(can't chop in Pelican Town). These trees will respawn as Stage 3 saplings (20% chance each day) and grow as normal after that, as long as the stump is removed, and there is nothing on the tree's tile.
Maple Trees that are not in Pelican Town or Greenhouse may turn into Green Rain Trees in Fall and will not return until the next Spring, just as if the trees have lost their leaves. If a tapper is placed on the tree, this change will not occur. [1].

History
- 1.4: Fixed bug that caused a stage 2-3 sapling to make a scythe sound when watered. Fixed bug that prevented trees from dropping seeds and seeds disappearing when harvested if a Foraging level up occured during the day. Planting tree seeds outside the farm no longer requires the spot to be tilled. (This also prevents planting in non-tillable areas dug up by Artifact Spots in Winter).
- 1.6: Maple trees now have a chance to turn into Green Rain Trees and lose their leaves in the fall.
