Detailed Fact Sheet here

​Quick View:

Distribution: Big Leaf Maple is generally found growing west of the Cascades in Washington at elevations from sea level to 1,500 feet. 
​
Growth Habit: It is a large deciduous tree, growing to over 80 feet tall, with a crown that can spread over 60 feet in diameter. Often a multi-stemmed tree with young green bark and older grey-brown bark. Large, green, five lobed leaves decorate the tree in spring and summer turning orange and yellow in the fall. 
Adaptability: Big Leaf Maple can be found growing in a wide range of sites that range from wet to dry and sunny to shady. It grows best in full sun on wet, bottom-lands, or on steep, rocky slopes. 
Comments: 
  • Big Leaf Maple has many uses as a conservation species. It is favored as a riparian restoration tree due to its adaptability, vigor and growth rate, and size and stature.
  • It quickly grows above weed competition and provides shade for streams.
  • Once established on a site, it provides diverse wildlife habitat, including forage for deer and elk, nesting for birds, and its seeds are used as food by many species of birds and animals.
  • A mature specimen provides considerable leaf litter for the soil, and is therefore considered a ‘soil-building’ species.
  • It also has commercial value. Its wood is used in furniture and cabinet building, veneer, musical instruments and fuel.
