Absolutely, take Cherry or Birch bark, for example.

Yes. My main reason for planting a paperbark maple is for the entryway view of its cinnamon-roll-like bark, which is especially beautiful in winter.

Seen this morning. Winter flowering cherry.

Ps with Acer griseum I don't think it's lenticels in particular causing the attractive appearance.

That cherry is definitely ornamental! Is it Tibetan Cherry (P. serrula)? Makes me wonder why I don’t see it in arboreta more often.

Here’s Betula papyrifera aka Queen of the North.

Serrula looks likely. It's just in an area of a local park that has some interesting things.
