May Appeal 2026
Please help keep TSO growing!
IDS Trees and Shrubs Online has become a fundamental source of reliable information about cultivated woody plants, freely available to everyone, everywhere. We hope you find it useful.
For the first time we are asking our users if you could support us.
If everyone who uses TSO during May 2026 gives just £10, we would cover our costs for a whole year, enabling us to accelerate our work.

This taxon is sometimes attributed to Acer × conspicuum, though more likely a cross between A. capillipes and A. pensylvanicum. A small tree to 4 m. Bark strongly striated bark turning from red to purplish-brown with age. Branchlets reddish-purple (Junker’s Nursery 2017; Edwards & Marshall 2019). Distributed in cultivation only.
RHS Hardiness Rating H5
Conservation status Not evaluated (NE)
Smaller growing than many other snakebark maples, ‘Candy Stripe’ is unsurprisingly most notable for its bark, which is strongly striated. It has a tidy, upright habit (Junker’s Nursery 2017).
