Bigleaf Maple trees are a common sight in Grants Pass. This species averages around 50-100 feet tall, and from 12-36 inches in diameter. Bigleaf Maples are reasonably long-lived in terms of trees, and can reach up to 300 years old. The leaves of this tree are, according to the National Park Service, "unusually large, five-lobed, palmate (palm-shaped) leaves from its branches. These goliath photosynthesizers measure up to 30 cm (12 in) wide and almost as long.” They can grow up to 12 inches wide. In the fall, their leaves can vary from bright golden to orange in color. Bigleaf Maple trees bring a bright and cheery aspect to the season of autumn in Grants Pass. 

California Black Oak trees are the most abundant oak species on the West Coast. They can reach heights of 110 feet tall, which is due to the fact that this species loves to be in sunlight, and often reaches above other trees to get it. Additionally, these trees can get up to 40 inches in diameter. This species can grow very old, with some reaching 500 years of age. Their leaves, which are deeply lobed, are between 4-10 inches long, turning a beautiful orange in autumn. These giant and magnificent trees bring an ethereal feel to Oregon, towering over buildings and streets like a gentle giant. 

Pacific Dogwood trees are a species found in Western North America. This tree is medium-sized, growing up to 66 feet tall, and is somewhat irregular, often growing multiple trunks. These trees actually produce flowers, which Calscape claims are made out of "a dense, rounded, greenish-white flowerhead composed by myriad tiny flowers; the 4 to 8 large white 'petals' are actually leaves.” These trees are unsurprisingly popular among native tree species. In the fall, these trees turn an incredible pink and red, bringing variation to Oregon's forests and to the backyards of many in Grants Pass. This is the tree that truly brings the autumnal vibe to life in the Pacific Northwest.
