Acer Griseum (paperbark Maple) Garden Trees

Acer Griseum (Paperbark Maple)

Acer Griseum garden trees are beautiful slow growing trees with unusual exotic looking bark that provides a year-round attractive feature in the garden. It has dark red or chestnut coloured bark that peels back in almost translucent cinnamon-coloured curls that remain attached to the tree (hence the common name of Paper Bark Maple), to reveal new, smooth, orange-red bark beneath.  The attractive trifoliate leaves are a bold green, turning a firework display of colours from pink to bright red before falling in the Autumn. It’s pale greeny-white flowers are small but followed by winged seeds often referred to as ‘helicopters’ due to the way they spin when falling.

Acer Griseum make a super, low maintenance addition to a garden ideally in a sheltered, partially shaded spot. They can look stunning as a central feature specimen tree to showcase its striking foliage and will shine as part of a more architectural planting scheme. Try underplanting with spring bulbs to create an early burst of colour to your garden, or with pale Grasses to contrast with the unusual bark.
