Zhang: Plant using either wind or water for seed dispersal

Paperbark Maple Tree
Acer 
griseum
Location: 42.31207, -72.63155
The Paperbark maple is an example of a plant that uses wind
to spread its seeds to different areas. Helicopter
seeds (pictured above) are transported 
to areas far
 away from the original tree by using a spinning motion.
