Description
Paperbark Maple is a standout ornamental tree for Massachusetts gardens, known for its peeling bark and rich seasonal color. The cinnamon-red bark exfoliates to reveal pink and tan layers, adding striking texture to winter landscapes. In fall, its dark green leaves turn brilliant shades of orange and deep red.
This slow-growing tree has a graceful oval form, making it an ideal specimen for small and large yards alike. Its fine-textured foliage contrasts beautifully with other trees, while its bark remains a point of interest year-round. Paperbark Maple thrives in well-drained soil and is a valuable addition to Massachusetts landscapes.
Our trees are sold by height (younger trees) or by caliper (more mature trees), ensuring you find the perfect size for your landscape needs. This tree is available by trunk caliper, at 1.5 in. size, for a more mature, developed option.
Each plant comes with the roots balled & burlapped. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
