Maple Tree Identification By Bark
Paper Bark Maple Tree (Acer Griseum). Dating back to 1901 in Britain this is a beautiful Chinese curiosity suitable for the arboretum or garden. It's small in size and has cinnamon coloured peeling bark. If left alone curling translucent sheets of paper thin bark eventually hang from the stems and branches. These are particularly stunning when back lit by the sun.

Identifying Maple Trees By Bark
Paperbark maple (Acer griseum) is a deciduous tree native to central China and renowned for its ornamental features. It typically grows to 25-30 feet in height, with an oval crown that can spread up to 30 feet wide. Its bark peels off in thin layers similar to paper, giving it its name. The unique exfoliating bark is a rich cinnamon-brown color, which creates stunning visual contrast against the bright green leaves. #paperbarkmaple #maples #paperbark #paperbarkmapleforsale
