The Maple tree is known as the tree of tolerance. In China honor and love are strong interpretations behind the Maple leaf motif. In English-speaking countries it"™s not uncommon to find the belief that Maple trees are able to ward of demons and evil spirits. They can also be portrayed as symbols of wisdom, connection and unity as well as change, determination and patience depending on the species of Maple tree the leaf is on.
