Size: 100L
Sale price$555.00

Acer campestre – Field Maple is a medium to large deciduous tree with a rounded canopy and dense branching, offering strong structure and filtered shade in urban and open-space landscapes. Its rich green foliage turns a clear golden-yellow in autumn, providing seasonal interest without compromising on form or function.

They look excellent in street plantings, avenues, or large gardens where long-term resilience, canopy coverage, and autumn colour are key. Highly tolerant of compacted soils, pollution, and dry conditions once established, Field Maple suits both formal and naturalistic designs.

Adaptable, low-maintenance, and compatible with biodiversity planting schemes.
