Common tree name

Paperbark Maple

Species Name

Acer griseum

Description

This tree is healthy, but its trunk naturally peels off its reddish bark, which makes it easy to recognise. Paperbark maples come from China and were brought to England in 1901 by E.H.Wilson, a famous plant collector. This is a mature tree unlikely to grow any taller.

Country of origin

Central China, Eastern Asia
