Acer campestre, or the Field Maple, is a compact, slow-growing small tree with a dense round canopy and thick, fissured, corky bark. Small dark green leaves with rounded lobes appear in summer that turn a beautiful clear yellow in the autumn – providing a spectacular visual show in the garden. The delicate yellow-green flowers are produced in erect clusters as the new foliage starts to sprout. The Field Maple is popular as an ornamental and/or shade tree in parks, as well as a specimen tree in the larger garden.

Soil: Neutral to alkaline soils are preferred that are well drained.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Frost, wind and pollution tolerant.
Size: Height 25m x width 8m
