Abstract:
Acer ‘Cinnamon Flake’ originated as a chance seedling among hundreds obtained from the Rochester Parks 30 years ago. It appears to be an A griseum hybrid and is more vigorous than the species having attained a height and width of approximately 33 ft It was named ‘Cinnamon Flake’ because of its unusual cinnamon colored bark which is finely and vertically fissured with thin paper-like flakes.

Its summer foliage is a rich green and its fall coloration is a spectacular red. In winter its cinnamon-colored back is quite attractive. ‘Cinnamon Flake’ can be grafted onto A. saccharum, the sugar maple. Our oldest grafts, now 8 years old, are vigorous and show no signs of incompatibility. They have grown to a height of 14 ft with a 12-ft spread and have a trunk diameter of about 5 in. All of these selections can be seen at the Horticulture Research Farm at The University of Connecticut.
