About Field Maple Hedging Bare Root 40/60 cm Delivery from November

Field Maple (Acer campestre) is a versatile, native deciduous shrub or small tree, prized for its attractive foliage, fast growth, and exceptional value for wildlife. Perfect for native and mixed hedges, it provides seasonal colour, biodiversity, and structure, thriving in a wide range of soils and conditions.

In spring, fresh green lobed leaves emerge, turning rich golden-yellow in autumn for a vibrant seasonal display. Field Maple supports pollinators with its small spring flowers and provides food and shelter for birds and insects. Hardy, adaptable, and easy to manage, it’s ideal for natural screens, wildlife corridors, or countryside boundaries.
