*** About Bigleaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum): Bigleaf Maple, a prominent feature of the Pacific Northwest, is renowned for its massive, broad leaves which are the largest of any maple, commonly reaching up to 12 inches across. Native primarily to regions near the west coast of the U.S. from southern Alaska to southern California, it thrives in the lush, wet habitat provided by these areas. This tree species is not only a striking visual presence but also an ecological cornerstone, supporting various wildlife species with its abundant canopy and serving as an important cultural symbol for the indigenous peoples of the region. Its wood is utilized in furniture making and, interestingly, its sap can be tapped to produce maple syrup, although much less commonly than its eastern relatives.
