Acer griseum, or Paperbark Maple, stands out from other maple varieties with its distinctive cinnamon-coloured, exfoliating bark.

Acer griseum, commonly known as the Paperbark Maple, is a deciduous tree renowned for its unique features. It stands out from other maple varieties due to its striking cinnamon-coloured, exfoliating bark, which peels away to reveal a smooth, papery texture.
In addition to its distinctive bark, Acer griseum showcases beautiful trifoliate leaves that turn vibrant shades of red and orange in theautumn, adding a splash of colour to the landscape. Its delicate foliage and attractive bark make it a standout choice for aesthetic appeal.
Caring for Acer griseum involves providing it with the right conditions. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers partial shade to full sun exposure. Regular watering during dry periods is important for its establishment, but it can withstand some drought once established. Pruning requirements are minimal, mainly focused on removing dead or damaged branches.

Its moderate size, slow growth rate, and interesting visual features make it well-suited for smaller gardens, urban areas, or as a focal point in larger landscapes.
