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, which develop from the small green flower clusters seen in spring, 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. Interestingly, as with all other Maples, it is possible to make maple syrup from the sap!

Combine Field Maple hedging with

Try combining your Field Maple hedge with other native plants for a wildlife-friendly mix, or see our Mixed Hedging Packs for your convenience.

Growth rate of Field Maple

Field Maple is a fast grower and will achieve 40-60cm a year and is ideal for heights of 1-4m.

Care advice for Acer campestre hedges

Acer campestre is a tough hedging plant. It simply needs a light trim of the branch structure every winter until it's mature. Once it is fully mature, a light trim at any time is sufficient. Please view the best4hedging care and planting instructions in our Advice section.
