Manchurian Striped Maple, Acer tegmentosum, Tree Seeds Fast Growth, Showy Bark, Fall Colors, Winter Interest, Shade Tree, Cold and Urban Tolerant, Bonsai Manchurian Striped Maple is a small to medium sized tree with a broad, vase-like shape. Noted for its greenish-grey bark with bright white stripes, creating a spectacular addition to any garden. It brightens the shade garden and creates a ghostly frame against a backdrop of evergreens. Mid green leaves are more entire than most maples with 3 to 5 front pointing tips at shallow lobes. Ruby red winter buds on the ends of silver gray twigs are an eye catcher even on gloomy days. Finely textured large leaves turn a striking pale yellow in fall. The bark, especially on the younger branches is completely white during the winter months which is truly a stunning sight in winter landscapes. Leaf: Opposite, simple with 3 to 5 lobes, with the tips of each lobe pointing forward. The edges of the leaves are finely toothed. Flower: Small, yellow-green flowers emerge with the leaves in mid-April. The flowers are on pendulous racemes, followed by winged samaras. Bark: Greenish-grey bark with bright white stripes.
