Acer griseum (Paperbark Maple) is a small, slow-growing deciduous tree admired for its stunning exfoliating bark, which peels away in thin, cinnamon-coloured curls to reveal smooth, coppery layers beneath, providing excellent year-round interest. Its trifoliate leaves emerge soft green in spring, turn dark green in summer, and blaze orange to fiery red in autumn. With its elegant, upright habit and manageable size, it’s ideal for smaller gardens, woodland borders or as a specimen tree.
Prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil
