Paperbark Maple
- Height: 20 to 30 feet
- Spread: 15 to 20 feet
The Paperbark Maple (Acer griseum) is a small, ornamental deciduous tree admired for its striking cinnamon-colored bark that peels and curls away in thin, papery layers, revealing a smooth, coppery underlayer. Typically reaching 20 to 30 feet in height, it forms an elegant, rounded shape with trifoliate leaves that emerge soft green in spring, deepen to dark green in summer, and turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and scarlet in fall. Slow-growing and highly ornamental year-round, the Paperbark Maple thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Its unique bark texture and vibrant autumn color make it a prized focal point in gardens and landscapes.
