Happy National Tree Week | Wythnos Genedlaethol y Goeden Hapus

One of our favourite trees at Dyffryn is this Acer griseum. Its common name in English is Paperbark Maple due to its distinctive peeling bark. It’s one of our best trees for autumn colour – when the sun hits the flaky bark the tree appears to have a golden halo.

We believe this tree is a seedling from the first Acer griseum sapling ever planted in the UK. It was brought back by plant collector Ernest Wilson in the early 1900s for Reginald Cory, the owner’s son, who collected plants from all over the world to display in the newly created gardens at Dyffryn.
****
Yr Acer griseum hon yw un o’n hoff goed yn Nyffryn. Yr enw cyffredin Cymraeg yw’r Fasarnen Rhisgl Papur oherwydd ei rhisgl nodweddiadol sy’n pilio. Mae’n un o’n coed gorau ar gyfer lliwiau’r hydref – pan mae’r haul yn tywynnu ar y rhisgl haenog, mae’r goeden yn ymddangos fel petai eurgylch o’i chwmpas.

Rydym yn credu bod y goeden hon yn un o had-blanhigion yr Acer griseum ifanc gyntaf erioed i gael ei phlannu yn y DU. Cafodd ei phrynu’n ôl gan y casglwr planhigion, Ernest Wilson, ar ddechrau’r 1900au ar gyfer Reginald Cory, mab y perchennog, a oedd yn casglu planhigion yn y gerddi newydd ar y pryd yn Nyffryn.
