Acer capillipes

Acer capillipes, also called snake maple or striped bark maple, is a beautiful upright ornamental shrub with a round crown, which can reach a height of 8 to 12 meters at a blessed age (after 50 years). This acer is especially popular because of its beautiful green-brown bark with horizontal white stripes and its beautiful autumn color to yellow orange to deep red. The snake maple blooms with green-white flowers and has small red to copper-colored winged achenes. Does well in almost any well-drained soil, preferring slightly acidic. Beautiful solitaire, not very wind resistant.
