Paperbark Maple

The Paperbark Maple (Acer griseum) is a stunning and unique addition to any landscape. This deciduous tree prefers full sun to partial shade and is hardy in zones 4-8. Originating from China, this tree grows to a mature height of 20-30 feet and a spread of 15-25 feet. Its most notable feature is its cinnamon-colored, exfoliating bark, which peels away in thin sheets to reveal a smooth, shiny underlayer. Its leaves turn a rich red-orange in the fall, adding to its year-round appeal. Perfect for bonsai enthusiasts or as a statement tree in any garden.
