Acer macrophyllum, the bigleaf maple [2] or Oregon maple, [3] is a large deciduous tree in the genus Acer. It is native to western North America . In addition to uses by animals, it is of some culinary and woodworking interest.
The type species of the genus is the sycamore maple Acer pseudoplatanus, one of the most common maple species in Europe.

It can develop a broad crown, almost as wide as a bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) when it grows in the open, but crowns remain narrow when they are part of a denser tree stand, similar to that of red alder (Alnus rubra). [4] The bark is distinctive with dark gray–brown, and it will eventually develop a woven pattern of deep fissures and ridges.
