Description

The Paperbark Maple is a exquisite small tree prized by connoisseurs for its spectacular, exfoliating cinnamon-red to copper-colored bark. Its beautiful trifoliate leaves and superb orange-red fall color add to its appeal, making it a stunning four-season specimen for a prominent location.

  • The main attraction is its gorgeous, peeling bark that reveals smooth, creamy underlayers in shades of cinnamon, copper, and rose, especially striking in winter.

  • Leaves are composed of three leaflets (trifoliate), turning brilliant shades of orange and red in autumn.

  • A slow-growing, well-behaved tree that makes an exceptional focal point near a patio, in a lawn, or in a winter garden.

  • Considered a “collector’s tree” for its unmatched bark character.
