Bigleaf maple
Acer macrophyllum
Bigleaf maple is a broad-crowned native deciduous tree valued for oversized leaves, deep shade, and strong seasonal presence.
Bigleaf maple gives a site immediate regional character, with huge leaves, sturdy branching, and gold fall color in favorable years. Where space allows, it can function as a generous canopy tree that cools summer light and supports birds, insects, and epiphytic life over time.
