Acer griseum 12L 110cm

Acer griseum

Acer griseum is a beautiful ornamental tree best known for its distinctive peeling cinnamon-brown bark, which provides outstanding year-round interest. Commonly known as the paperbark maple, this elegant species develops rich copper and chestnut tones beneath the exfoliating bark, creating a striking feature throughout the winter months.

Its attractive trifoliate green leaves emerge in spring and summer before transforming into brilliant shades of scarlet, crimson and orange in autumn. Slow-growing and naturally well-shaped, Acer griseum is ideal for smaller gardens where its ornamental bark and seasonal colour can be fully appreciated.

Perfect as a specimen tree, it also works well within woodland gardens and mixed planting schemes, bringing structure, texture and colour across multiple seasons.
