The Paperbark Maple likes a moist well drained acidic soil.

One cultivar with finer flaking bark is called ‘Cinnamon Flake’.

Specific epithet comes from the Latin "griseus" meaning gray, in reference to the color of the undersides of the leaf.

thanks for sharing that Heather, I'm doing plant idents for my college course and this tree is part of that - I'm going to remember your tip!

Exfoliating bark makes up for the lack of fall color

Pruning is best done as soon as the tree enters dormancy in late fall or early winter.

When pruning, which it needs very little of, its best to avoid doing so in the spring when the sap is running. Late fall is the best time for pruning for this maple.

According to Dr. Pulte, some individuals of this tree are thought to produce almost no (if any) viable seed. Germination rates may also be as low as 1 in several hundred individuals.

Difficult to propagate, "the biggest problem is poor seed quality; seeds are often void as is true for the other trifoliate maples; fruits we collected had 1% to 8% viable seeds."

Definitely a zone eight tree. I live in zone 8B and there are paper bark maples all over the place here as Street trees and in all the nurseries.

Cultivated paperbark maple suffers from a lack of genetic diversity. Wild paperbark maples are being used to reintroduce wild type genetics to help save the trees in nurseries

Juvenile cuttings are the easiest to root by the way

There are no serious insect issues to worry about with this Maple. Also to help remember just think of Paperback Writer from the Beatles but switch Writer with Maple.

When placed in the right conditions, this is one of the lowest maintenance trees you could have in your landscape.

The growth rate of this maple is very slow! it will grow 6-12" a year for 10-15 years according to Dirr's!
