*Please note these trees are seedlings and are about 4” tall
Striped Maple is a slow-growing understory tree which rarely grows over twenty or thirty feet tall and is often found growing as a shrub. Leaves are large shallowly lobed and generally shaped like a goose foot. A shade-tolerant species that grows best in dappled shade, will not grow well in full sunlight. Striped Maple bark is smooth and green or greenish brown featuring long white or pale vertical lines.
The Striped Maple is probably most important as a browse plant for white-tailed deer and moose. Its twigs are browsed by snowshoe hare and red squirrels, chipmunks eat the seeds, and porcupines enjoy the bark.
