Striped Maple
Acer pensylvanicum
Striped maple is a very distinctive maple. The trees are
relatively small and are characterized by the dark gray and
white striped bark, giving it the common name. In spring a
pendant spike of fairly large flowers dangle from the leaf
axils. This species is only found in East Tennessee, mainly
in the mountains of the Blue Ridge.
