Snakebark Maple (Acer davidii)

The Snakebark Maple  has stunning bark with young stems starting out in red before turning green and white in sperentine stripes.
 
Delicate yellow spring flowers, winged fruits and large mid-green leaves which flush orange, pink and yellow in autumn add year round interest.
 
It prefers a sheltered location, but is fully hardy and will grow in almost all well drained soils.
A perfect specimen plant as either a standard or multistem, it is ideal for a courtyard or garden setting.
