These trees are close relatives to the Sugar Maple, yet they inhabit the intermountain west, especially in Utah , Arizona, Idaho, and New Mexico. I dont understand why these trees are absent in Colorado, the Sierra Nevada of California, or the Cascades of the Pacific Northwest. Perhaps lack of summer rainfall?

When the seeds arrived, i did the same steps as for the other maple seeds: excision and cold water soaking. After 48 hours, the seeds plumped up and were ready to be stratified.

After the seeds were done soaking for 48 hours, i removed the bigtooth maple seeds , put them in a paper towel, enclosed in a ziplock bag in the back of the fridge. I hope to see success.
