Acer campestre Tree
One of the best native trees for autumn colour, Acer campestre has dark green, lobed leaves turning buttery yellow in autumn. It is a medium sized tree with an attractively rounded in habit and you can expect an approximate height and spread of 7 x 4 metres in 20 years. Field Maples also make a good hedging plant and being resilient, will grow well in most situations.
The bark is fissured with a slightly corky texture giving an additional element of interest. Its winged helicopter like seeds are similar to most maples. Yellow-green upright clusters of flowers emerge in spring.
Acer campestre has the RHS Award of Garden merit and is the variety that was used in Westminster Abbey for William and Kate's wedding as it is said to symbolise 'reserve and humility'!!
