ACER pensylvanicum
Please Choose:  

Description: It's hard to not like this beautiful, native, understory tree found along the Appalachians from Maine to Georgia. The bark on all but the oldest trees is green with vertical white striping. Bark on trunks over 5 inches diameter turns grey-brown, but a tree that big is unusual, a 30 feet specimen would be a big one. Leaves are 5-7 inches long and shaped like a duck's foot, turning brilliant yellow in autumn. This is the only American striped bark maple (there are a number more from Asia). None will tolerate winter sun on the trunk which causes the bark to split and die on the southern side. Plant close to the north side of a building, the north side of large evergreens, or on a north-facing slope in any reasonable soil.
