Acer sempervirens (Cretan maple, evergreen maple) is native to the Eastern Mediterranean and is on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species mainly due to agricultural activity. At this time of year the red flattened wings of the fruits (samara) attract the attention. In the autumn this semi-evergreen tree has foliage that will provide a red or yellow splash to the landscape.
