Bare Root Field Maple (Acer campestre): 2-3ft

Description

Field maple (Acer campestre), also sold as English maple, is a strong-growing, hardy native that suits exposed and windy sites. It can be clipped as a hedge, grown on as a specimen tree, or used for shelter and shade. Autumn foliage is clear yellow, often flushed with red.

The bark is light brown and flaky, and older twigs develop corky ridges. Left to grow as a tree, field maple can reach 20m and live for up to 350 years. It also works within a mixed native hawthorn hedge. Plant new hedgerows in two staggered rows 30cm apart, at 5 plants per metre.

These plants are bare root and 2-3ft.
