Well done all!

 

The paperbark maple was introduced from central China in 1901 by the renowned plant hunter Ernest "Chinese" Wilson.

A fairly small tree, but a magnificent one! From an early age the bark peels to reveal cinnamon coloured under-bark and the trifoliate leaves have attractive reddish tints in the autumn.

 

This maple does well in sun or partial shade and appreciates a sheltered position. It does best in moist, well drained soil, and is not drought tolerant. Nutrient rich, wet soil can inhibit autumn colour.
