Synonym(s) Acer nikoense var. griseum Common name paperbark maple Family sapindaceae Life cycle tree (Z4-8) Size 20-30' Light sun-part shade Cultural notes moist, well-drained soil Slow-growing deciduous tree noted for its exfoliating bark and orange/red fall color. Ours is still small (about 18") after four years of growth. When casually inspected, the young tree looks deceptively like poison ivy, with its irregular leaf shape and red coloration to new leaves. However, the acer leaves are arranged opposite, vs. the alternate arrangement of poison ivy.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: vegetable garden
