Keep the area free of competing weeds and grass for the first couple of growing seasons. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. Water well and regularly throughout spring and summer, increasing in periods of hot or dry weather. Paper Bark Maples require a good watering regime for the first couple of years.

It will do well in most well drained soils, but do avoid a very exposed position. Acer griseum has the RHS Award of Garden Merit and will grow in both sunny or partially shaded locations. The slow growing nature and year round interest makes it a great choice for smaller gardens. This small Acer tree will reach a height and spread of 5 x 4 metres in 20 year. The attractive foliage has three leaflets and is a good bold green, turning a firework display of colours from pink to bright red before falling in the autumn. Flowers are small but followed by winged seeds often referred to as 'helicopters' due to the way they spin when falling. Translucent sections of the paper-thin, peeling bark curl ornately whilst still attached to the tree, giving year-round interest but especially in winter. Acer griseum boasts tactile, cinnamon coloured, peeling bark, hence the common name of Paper Bark Maple.
