A Bit More

Native to the river banks of the Pacific Coast, Bigleaf Maples are often found covered in brilliant green moss. Deep, consistent watering in the first year of dry-climate planting should yield quick spurts of growth. Lobed leaves turn a spectacular autumnal yellow. Spring brings clusters of yellow flowers followed by large, pendulous brown seeds.
