Just in case you’d never really appreciated the size of a real maple leaf before. Oregon Maple was always what I judged other maples by. When I was a kid, I figured the Japanese Celebration Maple in the backyard and the littler maples I saw around town were just too young to grow proper leaves. In my defense, I was kinda right.
