Photograph showing Winter habit of Manchurian
Striped Maple, sometimes called a Manchustriped Maple. This
tree will be on the passenger side of your car shortly
before you reach Parking 16. 
The
furrows in the trunk and branches are the major identifying
feature of the interesting "snake-like bark" maples,
but it is still difficult to distinguish between the
various "striped maples".
In
this picture of the Acer tegmentosum, the buds
are nearly ready to open. The buds are valvate, striping
is apparent on the branches and both leaf scars and
bud scars can be seen.
This Manchurian
Striped Maple is not the same tree
as the one shown above. It was also near Parking
16. To reach it you crossed the road and take the path
next to Flowering Dogwood into a section that is marked
as "Maples" on the map. This tree was removed in the summer of 2005.
The photos below came from this tree.
Leaves
of the
Manchurian Striped Maple are
opposite, simple with 3 - 5 lobes. With the tips
of each lobe pointing forward. The edges of the
leaves are finely toothed.
The
small, yellow-green flowers of the Acer tegmentosum
emerge with the leaves in mid-April. The flowers are
on pendulous racemes.Morton Arboretum accession tag information for the two trees on this page.
