10 Seeds Bigleaf Maple Tree Acer macrophyllum Ornamental Shade Tree

Bigleaf maple, Acer macrophyllum, is a large deciduous tree prized for its impressive, oversized leaves that provide generous shade and vibrant fall color. Each leaf can reach up to twelve inches across, creating a striking, tropical-like canopy. This ornamental tree is a wonderful choice for spacious yards, parks, or naturalized areas, offering a majestic presence and easy, low-maintenance growth.
These seeds are ideal for growing a fast-growing shade tree with a broad, rounded crown. Plant them as a focal point, along a property line, or in a woodland garden setting. The tree develops a sturdy trunk and spreading branches, making it a superb habitat and landscape tree. It tolerates a variety of conditions once established but performs best in moist, well-drained soil and a cool, coastal climate.
