4-26-11: Acer griseum- Paperbark Maple

Paperbark maple is a tree suited for a small (or large) garden and has attributes that make it remarkable year round.

The most obvious feature is the beautiful cinnamon brown peeling bark; this can be admired all year but is most obvious in the winter. The leaves open purple in the spring, turn a deep dark green in summer and then brick red blended with buttery gold and orange in the fall. Grow in full sun to part shade. In ten years it will reach 10’-18’ high by 8’-15’wide and the ultimate size is 40’high by 30’wide. Consider this disease and pest resistant tree an excellent specimen in any landscape.
