Acer pensylvanicum

Acer pensylvanicum - Moosewood (Moose maple, Striped maple)

Moosewood is native to north-east America, where it grows in shady broadleaf and mixed forest on rich soil. It has large pale green, slightly drooping leaves which take on a noticeably pale yellow colour in autumn. The most notable characteristic is the striped bark, which is green and white when young, brown and white in maturity – thus the alternative common name.
