Many of us have seen the beautiful fall colors these maples provide and are happy to hear that we can grow these beautiful trees here for fall color as well. It is nice to know that we have a Maple tree that is a close cousin of those growing so beautifully elsewhere. Those of us who have seen Sugar Maples growing in the Northeast and other northern states know how beautiful these maple trees are. The leaves show off the classic maple leaf shape as well. The Bigtooth Maple offers a nice contrast with its bright green luxuriant leaves and lighter colored bark. These trees have dark green leaves and dark bark.
