Information

Bigleaf Maple - Acer macrophyllum (Aceraceae)
A deciduous angiosperm native to the Pacific coast of western North America from southern Alaska to southern California. Bigleaf maple is distinguished by the largest leaves of any maple, typically 15-30 cm across, with five deeply-incised, palmate lobes. We understand that it is possible to make maple syrup from the sap of Bigleaf maple, but it requires a lot of reduction.
