The bigleaf maple is a broad-topped tree, perfect for creating dense shade in spacious landscapes. Its massive leaves, 6-12 inches across, emerge bright green in spring and glow like sunshine in autumn. In early spring, before the leaves appear, small, fragrant, greenish-yellow flowers bloom in drooping clusters, adding early-season interest. Native from Southwest British Columbia to Southern California, this tree thrives in riparian zones with its shallow root system, creating its own cool microclimate. Ensure it has ample moisture, and the bigleaf maple will reward you with beauty and shade for years to come.
