Acer Davidii Grosseri

Snakebark Maple

Acer davidii ‘Grosseri’ is a striking snakebark maple best known for its decorative green bark marked with bold white vertical striping, providing exceptional winter interest. Young stems are especially vivid, making this cultivar stand out when the landscape is dormant.

Leaves are medium green and three-lobed, emerging fresh in spring and turning clear yellow to yellow-orange in fall. The tree develops an upright to rounded habit, often multi-stemmed, with a refined, elegant structure typical of snakebark maples.

‘Grosseri’ performs best in partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It appreciates protection from hot afternoon sun and drying winds. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it is well suited to cooler climates.

Mature size:



Height: 25–30 ft

Ideal for specimen planting, woodland gardens, Asian-inspired landscapes, and winter-interest gardens, Acer davidii ‘Grosseri’ is prized for its ornamental bark, graceful habit, and dependable seasonal interest.
