In the Northern hemisphere, maples grow in the North American temperate zone, and California, Europe and Asia.

They grow, too, in the Mediterranean Basin, in the Balkans, on Cyprus and Crete and in Libya, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. In Asia, they are widespread in China, Japan, Korea, Manchuria and Eastern Siberia, as well as on Sakhalin and the Kurile Islands.
