Description
This is the fruit/seed of a Norway maple tree. Commonly called helicopters or whirlybirds, the official name for this type of winged seed is samara. Samaras are the maple tree�s way of spreading its seeds, giving each potential seedling a chance to get out from under the shade of its parent tree and find an environment where it can thrive.
