Acer griseum is also known as A. nikoense var. griseum, or more often paperback maple. This relatively slow-growing tree is native to Western China and was discovered by Ernest Wilson. This tree is often multi-trunked and has a very interesting exfoliating bark. Also, its ornamental autumn foliage is bright orange-red.
This tree is very frost-hardy, and can withstand cold temperatures down to about -22°F (-30°C) and sometimes less. It can thus be grown in USDA zones 5 and warmer, and most sheltered areas of USDA zones 4.
Leaves are decidious, opposite, trifoliate. They have a grey-green underside, and interesting bright orange-red colors in fall.
Flowers appear in mid-spring with the leaves. They are grouped in clusters of 3-5 yellow-green flowers and are about .4 in (1 cm) wide.
