Acer griseum (paperbark maple) is a deciduous maple valued for its distinctive cinnamon-brown bark that peels naturally into thin, curling strips, providing outstanding winter interest. Fresh green, trifoliate leaves appear in spring, remaining clean and refined through summer before turning vivid shades of red, orange, and scarlet in autumn. Slow growing, long-lived, and highly ornamental, it is best appreciated as a specimen where its bark and seasonal colour can be enjoyed year round. Hardy and reliable in well-drained soil, Acer griseum offers exceptional character with minimal intervention.
