Acer Griseum makes a super, low maintenance addition to a garden ideally in a sheltered, partially shaded spot. They can look stunning as a central feature specimen tree to showcase its striking foliage and will shine as part of a more architectural planting scheme. Try underplanting with spring bulbs to create an early burst of colour to your garden, or with pale Grasses to contrast with the unusual bark.
For best results with Acer Griseum (Paperbark Maple) garden trees plant them in moist but well drained soil. They will not thrive in soil that becomes waterlogged so add grit and well-rotted organic matter to clay soils before planting. Water regularly until they become established. Low maintenance, they require minimal pruning – simply remove any dead branches and trim lightly to maintain their elegant canopy shape.
