Are red maples poisonous to children?

Red maples (Acer rubrum) are not considered poisonous to children. However, the tree's leaves and seeds can be harmful if ingested in large quantities, potentially causing mild gastrointestinal upset. It's always a good idea to supervise children around any plants and educate them about not eating unknown plants or seeds. If you suspect ingestion of any part of the plant and notice unusual symptoms, it's best to consult a healthcare professional.
