A stand of Big Leaf Maple acer macrophyllum -Canada's largest maple tree- featuring multiple trunks from one stump. Campbell River is near the northern edge of its range in southwestern British Columbia. You can make maple syrup from this tree, and there are a few producers on Vancouver Island, although it is very labour intensive. #TreesTuesday #ThickTrunkTuesday #VancouverIsland #CampbellRiver #PNW #NaturePhotography
