Maple, Paperbark

Upright growing small tree with bold, stocky branches, maturing to a rounded form. Unique cinnamon-brown bark exfoliates on trunk and branches to reveal a shiny coppery inner bark. Small three-lobed leaves are rich green in summer and bright coral-red in fall. A superior tree native to central China and becoming one of the choicest for this region, particularly striking in the winter garden. Chosen as the 2003 Cary Award winning tree. Starting in 1997 the Cary Award annually recognizes underutilized woody plants especially appropriate for New England that offer superior landscape appeal in two or more seasons, are winter hardy in zone 5 or colder, are pest resistant and are readily available in the market.
