The bigtooth maple (*Acer grandidentatum*) is a deciduous tree native to North America, primarily found in the western United States. It typically grows in mountainous regions and can reach heights of 30 to 50 feet. The tree is known for its distinctive large, toothed leaves that turn vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red in the fall. This species thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. The bigtooth maple is often used in landscaping for its attractive foliage and is also valued for its wood, which is used in furniture and cabinetry. Its adaptability makes it a popular choice for reforestation efforts in its native range.
