The overall form of the tree with its many upward-thrusting branches is like the shape of any one of its leaves. (This is more or less evident for most varieties of tree.) The maple leaf is pinnate-shaped – reminiscent of a feather. (The Latin for “feather” is pinna.) The face of the leaf is a salad green; its back is a greenish silver. The inscribed destiny of the maple is to be pinnate.--John BERGER
