Acer macrophyllum
Big-Leaf Maple, Oregon or Canyon Ma
Description
This fast-growing deciduous tree grows to 90 feet in height with a 45' spread. It is a coastal and inland native which flourishes on north facing slopes. It has very large leaves, 6-15 in. wide, sometimes the size of dinner plates, that offer spectacular yellow fall color in cool areas. It is found in streambanks and watershed canyons and should only be used in areas that are naturally moist.
