What kind of maple tree turns yellow in the fall?

Never fear: A single year of muted hues doesn't mean the spectacular display won't return.

Norway Maple Resistant to heat, drought, and air pollution, Norway maples are reliable varieties of maple trees that develop yellow and orange fall foliage. Sugar maple trees produce sweet syrup but also have stunning yellow leaf color every fall. They form a dense crown that provides tons of summer shade, and their helicopter seeds help them spread. Sugar maples thrive in sunny locations, but they require at least four hours of direct sunlight every day.
