Description
Description
Acer griseum boasts tactile, cinnamon coloured, peeling bark, hence the common name of Paper Bark Maple. Translucent sections of the paper-thin, peeling bark curl ornately whilst still attached to the tree, giving year-round interest but especially in winter. Flowers are small but followed by winged seeds often referred to as 'helicopters' due to the way they spin when falling. The attractive foliage has three leaflets and is a good bold green, turning a firework display of colours from pink to bright red before falling in the autumn.
