1 Seeds Paperbark Maple Acer griseum

Paperbark Maple (Acer griseum) is a slow-growing ornamental tree prized for its cinnamon-brown peeling bark and dependable red-orange autumn foliage. It brings year-round structure and refined texture to temperate landscapes.

Use it as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or in woodland plantings where its exfoliating bark can be appreciated up close. Seed propagation is straightforward with cold stratification, and young trees develop a tidy oval canopy that matures gracefully.
