 Paperbark
Maple
Acer griseum--Paperbark Maple
Hardiness Zones: 4 to 8
Height: 20 ft Spread: 20 ft
Form: rounded
Type: small deciduous tree
Annual Growth Rate: less than 12 inches
Comments: Paperbark maple has peeling, papery, cinnamon-brown bark and
russet or scarlet red fall color. The bark begins peeling on 2 or 3 year old branches.
This slow-growing tree has unusual, deeply lobed leaves, and is a wonderful
accent or specimen tree, especially when
given a background of evergreens or even a building's wall. It's
hailed as the Michigan Nursery and Landscape Association's 2002
Grower's Choice Award recipient - "spectacular in the
winter."
