| A modest grove set among the compact, evergreen
mountain laurels, in organic, well-drained soil and full sun, would be
a stirring sight in mid-winter. The Paperbark Maple grows rather slowly
to a 30-40 tree with a rounded form. Its trifoliate leaves
turn shades of burgundy, bronze and red in autumn. It is pest and disease resistant and hardy in USDA Zones 4-8. |

| Paperbark Maple Acer griseum The Paperbark Maple combines beautifully with the Little leaf Laurels, eventually providing a high canopy of shade. The real beauty of the Paperbark Maple is most evident in winter when the low angle of the sun plays off the cinnamon colored, shredding bark of this splendid tree. |
