Paperbark Maple Tree Leaf

Paperbark maple

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
