Other Products ｜Acer griseum Tree

Acer griseum boasts tactile, cinnamon coloured, peeling bark, hence the common name of Paper Bark Maple. Translucent sections of the paper-thin, peeling bark curl ornately whilst still attached to the tree, giving year-round interest but especially in winter. Flowers are small but followed by winged seeds often referred to as 'helicopters' due to the way they spin when falling.
The attractive foliage has three leaflets and is a good bold green, turning a firework display of colours from pink to bright red before falling in the autumn.
This small Maple tree will reach a height and spread of 5 x 4 metres in 20 year. The slow growing nature and year round interest makes it a great choice for smaller gardens. Both sunny or partially shaded locations are suitable as long as they are not exposed to the wind. Acer griseum, the Paperbark Maple, holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Interesting fact: E H Wilson brought Acer griseum to England from China in 1901. The tree in Westonbirt Arboretum is believed to be a Wilson original.
