A lovely, slow-growing, medium-sized tree, Acer griseum is grown not only for its decorative bark, but also for its vibrant autumn foliage colour.
The bark is the colour of cinnamon, and peels away naturally in thin layers, hence this tree’s common name, paper bark maple. The leaves are deeply cut and maple-like, and turn brilliant shades of orange and scarlet in autumn.
This tree has been raised to encourage a bushy, multi-stemmed habit.

Plant in a sheltered spot, away from cold winds. Dig in a hole twice the size the root ball, add well-rotted organic matter and stake when young. Do not allow to dry out while it is getting established.
Protect young trees from winter frost with a 10cm (4in) mulch of organic matter, taking care to leave space around the trunk of the tree.
No routine pruning is required, just remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter when they are fully dormant. Avoid pruning at any other time of the year as acers tend to 'bleed' sap if cut while they are actively growing.
