- Special comments :
- Noted for its exfoliating bark and impressive fall color, the paperbark maple is a highly sought-after tree. The brown bark on its trunk and branches peels off in thin, tight curls, revealing brighter cinnamon-red wood beneath
This foliage, atypical for a maple, is also orange-brown when the buds burst and bright red or yellow in the fall.
