exfoliating bark
Self-stripping tree skin
Exfoliating bark is tree bark that peels, flakes, or sheds in layers, revealing fresh bark beneath.
The feature is prized in ornamental trees like birch, sycamore, and paperbark maple, where the peeling creates visual interest and texture: The exfoliating bark of the river birch adds winter appeal to the garden.
