A popular snakebark maple for small gardens, since it grows rapidly in its early years and then settles down to relatively slow expansion, and may be pruned in winter to size. An established tree is unmistakable, with its upright branches making a slim silhouette, while the green bark is striped conspicuously with white. The seeds are also distinctive, in pairs with large, broad wings, and clustered on long strings. In autumn the thick, rubbery leaves turn vivid yellow, orange and red shades.

| Germination | Seeds nedd to be stratified for 60-90 days inside or by sowing it outside in the beginning of winter. The best time to start stratification - December - March. We suggest to do it inside as follow: 1. Soak seeds overnight in warm clean water. 2. Mix the seeds with moist vermiculite or sterile sand (1 part of seeds and 3 parts of substrate). The substrate should be moist but not wet. If it is too wet, the seeds may drown and die. 3. Place the seed mixture into a clear air tight plastic bag (freezer or zip-lock bag). 4. Place the bag in the fridge at +4C for 60-90 days. Check weekly. If seeds started to germinate - remove them from the bag and plant. 5. After the pre-treatment, sow seeds in the prepared soil in pots or trays, cover with 5-8 mm of soil. Keep moist and in room temperature (no more than +25C). After germination, keep the seedlings well watered and weed free. |
