Acer griseum (Paperbark Maple) - 200cm Magnolia 'Yellow Bird' Ambidextrous safety lockNoted for its exfoliating bark and showy fall color, award winning Acer griseum (Paperbark Maple) is a small spreading deciduous tree that is highly desirable. The chestnut brown bark of both its trunk and branches constantly peels into thin tight curls, revealing brighter cinnamon red wood beneath. Even the youngest stems contribute to this pleasing peeling bark effect. Equally attractive is the foliage of three lobed leaves, typical of most Acers.
