Acer griseum (Paperbark Maple)

I love the bark of trees.You just want to touch them,great pic.

It's one you'd just have to touch. I just love putting my hands on tree trunks. Yes..I know..been told before..anorak!

This is my favourite tree...never had one....hmmm...that's going to change!

Fascinating, arent they.

Helenium, have you ever touched the bark of a Giant Red Wood. So weird, the bark is all spongey.

Lol Karen, add on to the list for the new garden.

Just love this tree it reminds me of the Enid Blyton books The Enchanted Forest;0)

Does it Pansy, how nice.

That does sound a bit weird, but I'd touch it anyway.. wouldn't like to think I was missing anything! Lol

Lol Helenium x

I've always wanted one of these to its lovely, aren't you tempted to peel it though? lol I don't think I'd be able to resist ooops .

Hi Kathy, hope you're OK. Glad you like it, still just a baby really. I must admit, I do sometimes peel the silver birch trunks ;-)

That is beautiful for such a young tree.....

Thanks Angela, yes its nice that its doing its thing at such a young age :-)
