Acer griseum, commonly called paperbark maple, is a small deciduous tree native to China. It is prized for its unique bark, which peels away in thin curls revealing copper-to-cinnamon tones that remain decorative throughout the year. It typically reaches 6-9 m in height, with slow growth and a graceful structure.

Leaves are trifoliate and turn brilliant shades of red, orange and scarlet in autumn. It prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils and full sun to partial shade. Perfect for ornamental gardens, specimen plantings and locations where a small but striking tree is desired. Cold hardy to about -20 °C.

How to sow Acer griseum seeds

To germinate Acer griseum, simply follow a two-stage stratification process. Begin by soaking the seeds for 24 hours in lukewarm water. Then place them in slightly moist vermiculite and keep them in a warm phase (15-20 °C) for about 10-12 weeks. After that, move the container to a cold phase of 12-16 weeks at 3-5 °C. Once this period is complete, sow the seeds in a light, moist but well-drained substrate. Germination may appear gradually over the following months, which is completely normal for this species.
