Things I Love About Bigleaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum)
They're aptly named; I've found bigleaf maple leaves that were a foot across.
And they make a fun hat if you're feeling silly!
If a decent-sized bigleaf maple gets damaged and loses its main trunk, it will often grow several new trunks in a circle.
They commonly host epiphytes like mosses and licorice ferns.
Their flowers are an important food source for native pollinators like bumblebees, and their seeds feed native wildlife like squirrels and birds, while deer and other browsing mammals may eat the leaves.

Floral Fumo Double Feature of the Week Halloween Edition (There are two parts the next is tomorrow): Norway Maple (Acer platanoides)
Tonight is Halloween, which is a mashup name for Hallow's Eve, but its also on a Thursday which is not a Friday but the day before Friday. Technically, Halloween, Oct 31st is the eve while Nov 1st is the actual day. Nonetheless, both are celebrated equally as connected holidays together. So this week will have two posts.

Yuuka herself has already found herself in a place that clearly wasn't Gensokyo. She knew it to be the Outside World, but didn't understand why she is here or why she is able to live when outsiders no longer believed nor feared in youkai like her. She has however seen plenty of other youkai with baskets, but no humans were to be found. Have youkai and vengeful ghosts won their grudges against humanity and surpassed its existence?
It didn't matter to her though. Even if all there were was youkai in the world, Yuuka would always find ways to prank anyone, it's her way of living.
This is the Norway Maple (Acer platanoides). Fitting for its stage name, its native to Norway, but it is also native to a good chunk of the rest of Europe and its range even extending to Central Asia. They are noted in the Fall by their brightly yellow and large leaves. This tree continues to live on, even through the hottest hots and the coldest colds, through air pollution to even growing in partial sunlight.
Unfortunately, because the tree is able to live in harsh conditions, it has become invasive to North America where it competes for terrain with other maples that are native. Once it has grown old enough, it becomes a very hard task to get rid of through its strong sturdy roots and keeps living through improper removal.
Unlike native North American maples, the tree's sap doesn't yield sap worthy of making with maple syrup, and it is much more difficult to work with when maple syrup making. The maple tree most associated with maple syrup is the Sugar Maple(Acer saccharum) which is not pictured and has a far higher harvest yield than the Norway Maple.

As the @QGCanopy project comes to end, The King and The Prince of Wales have planted an Acer tree in the gardens of Sandringham House – one of over 3 million that have been planted in Queen Elizabeth II’s name as part of the initiative.📸 Chris Jackson
