The paperbark maple is a small, slow-growing deciduous tree reaching up to 30 feet with an upright oval habit. It is most celebrated for its stunning, exfoliating copper-orange bark that peels in papery curls to reveal a rich cinnamon interior. Its trifoliate leaves are dark green with glaucous undersides, transforming into brilliant shades of red and orange in autumn. This hardy species thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils, making it an ideal specimen for small gardens.
