Our acorn tree dropped all of its blossom-thingies within a few hours (discuss.tchncs.de)

Edit:
Just realized the correct name for the tree is actually maple.

False friend caused mistake because its name is "Ahorn" in German.
Keeping the heading as it is, because it is funny, although it might trigger the Canadians (sorry, dudes!).

Maple trees do not produce flowers, but many other types of trees do.

    Maple trees are angiosperms and definitely produce flowers. They may not be showy, but they're there

    Interesting, thank you. I guess I should instead say, then, that I have never seen any flowers on any maple trees and I have seen tons of maple trees. But I didn't know that. I'll have to do some reading. I love plants. You could study them all day every day and die knowing so little about them.

    Maple trees do not produce flowers

    But according to Wikipedia, they do?
