About 25 per cent of the city’s tree canopy is made up of big maples, and though city workers water them every day it’s just a drop in the bucket of what’s needed.

Some researchers at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) asked themselves why big maples remain so green and healthy even during periods with little rain and lawns go dry.
