Barton Arboretum and Nature Preserve

of Medford Leas

January 12, 2024 – Acer griseum

Some names for trees and plants seem to come out of nowhere. That’s not the case for the Paperbark Maple in Court 14! As you can see, the bark of this tree curls up like a scroll, and when caught in the right light, can almost appear to glow. Something to enjoy in the pockets of sunshine through the winter, when you are Out and About.
