Acer macrophyllum,

Wow that certainly has a wide girth!

My goodness! I didn’t know there is such a big Acer. Incredible! It looks like a Giant. I wonder how old it is. What a beautiful shaped trunk….sorry, I’m enraptured. I love trees!

I have to admit that it was one of the reason why I loved this property.
Lots of people around here do not like this maple as it distributes lots of seeds which germinate easily. It is also fast growing so I have no idea how old is this one...but I still love it. Everyone who comes here comments on it.

A very special old tree and wonderful to see it. It must be able to tell some stories from the past if only it could speak.
I love old trees especially Oak trees and I go over and feel the bark on the trunk. Does the doll and the door mean anything significant?

Wow, what a responsibility Klahanie to have this massive Acer on your land. I was also wondering about the little door …
Have you ever grown one of its babies from the seed?

Thank you Linda and Sheila.
I am pulling out hundreds of seedlings from everywhere every year. I do not keep them.
The little fairy door just showing my silliness .
I have several porcelain ladies living in the bigleaf maple.
They all have a name. That happened long time ago but they still exist.

What a history for such a beautiful maple, it does look ancient. Sheltering your porcelain ladies makes it very special Klahanie. You must have posted photos of it's autumn colours over the years, how spectacular!

Janey, I appreciate your lovely comment.
It is wonderful to see in the fall (autumn) but also a good exercise to rake all the fallen leaves :-)

Haha, yes I can imagine!
