Griseum ( Paper Bark Maple)

If you are nervous about taking care of an expensive Palmatum or other such JM this one is for you … It has big fuzzy spring buds with hairy new leaves that pop out late, long after any freeze or late frost.. In summer it takes sun and wind well . In fall it holds its leaves late so you get an extended season . And in winter you get that great anber exfoliating bark like a birch but in “see through patches” baclit by the winter sun…PHENOMINAL. This is simply a super hardy stunning tree.
