Paperbark Maple

(Acer griseum)

Perfect for planting near your home or patio or in other spots where space is limited.

 

Plant alone as a specimen or space trees 10-15' apart when planting in groups of three or more.

 

Bark begins to peel on trunks and limbs that are 2-3 years old.

 

Leaves turn a vibrant SCARLET color in fall before dropping for winter.

 

Paperbark maples grow slowly to mature at only 15-20' tall and wide. Expect only about 12" of growth a year.

 

Plant in sun to light shade. In full sun, water trees during dry weather for best growth and appearance.
