Acer tegmentosum 'Joe Witt' (Snakebark Maple)
An outstanding striped maple for the lightly shaded garden. Upright oval to about 25' tall over time, it has fairly bold textured, light green leaves that turn bright yellow in fall. Bark, particularly on branches under about 5" in diameter, is striped with white, green and gray. Protecting this from the hot afternoon sun is key. During dry spells some supplemental water would benefit this plant. A little extra work than some but the bark is worth it!
