Paperbark Maples are grown for their unusual, exfoliating cinnamon-brown bark and fall color.  Its three-pointed leaves generally turn to a bright orange or red in autumn.  Its branches are upright, and the tree’s shape is oval.

This tree grows in sun to part shade but should be watered through a drought.  It doesn’t have any serious pest problems and works well as a medium-yard tree or understory tree.
