Acer macrophyllum, the bigleaf maple or Oregon maple, is a large deciduous tree in the genus Acer. Big Leaf Maple can grow up to 157.80 feet tall, but more commonly reaches 15–20 m tall. It is native to western North America, mostly near the Pacific coast, from southernmost Alaska to southern California. Some stands are also found inland in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains of central California, and a tiny population occurs in central Idaho.

Jade sparks are emitted from this wand wood during spellwork.
