Field Maple hedge plants

Field Maple hedge (Acer campestre) description

A lovely native and hardy plant, Acer campestre has mid-green, five-lobed foliage which is prettily tinged with red in the spring. The seeds, like little helicopters, are closely followed by the stunning golden-yellow of the autumnal foliage which will brighten any garden. 

Best uses for Acer campestre

A fast grower, Field Maple is ideal for informal garden hedging, though it can be clipped to shape. Acer campestre is often used in Native mixes to add a splash of autumn colour and being suited to coastal and exposed sites it is a useful and versatile choice. Although deciduous, Acer campestre has fairly dense foliage and can form a good privacy screen when in full leaf. It also provides excellent shelter for local birds and wildlife through spring and summer.
