Paperbark maple is a distinctive, slow-growing deciduous tree valued for its exfoliating, papery, cinnamon-colored bark that provides year-round ornamental interest. Its small, trifoliate leaves turn brilliant shades of orange-red and scarlet in autumn. This tree is particularly prized for winter gardens and adds structural beauty to any landscape.
