Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Also know as Taiwanese Striped-bark Maple, this is a smaller and similar to other striped-barks. Not very hardy.
A collection from Taiwan by Philip MacDougall of this excellent ornamental Maple. We are pretty excited by its potential as it is looking darn good even very young. This will quickly grow into a small to medium-sized tree and is a great alternative to Japanese Maples. Good fall color. Acer caudatifolium [PMDT 18]
