Bigtooth maple, also called canyon maple, is a hardy western relative of the sugar maple ( A. saccharum ), native to the West- Central United States and Northern Mexico. Adapted to dry, rugged conditions, it brings the classic maple look to landscapes of the West. Its large, deeply lobed leaves are bright green in summer and ignite into vivid yellows, oranges, and reds in fall. In spring, clusters of small yellow-green flowers appear alongside new foliage. Bigtooth maple grows at a moderate to fast rate, adding about 12 to 36 inches per year. Like its eastern cousin, it produces sweet sap, and it offers outstanding seasonal color.
