Discover the versatile Acer campestre, commonly known as Hedge Maple or Field Maple, a resilient and adaptable deciduous tree perfect for various landscapes. Native to Europe and western Asia, this small tree or large shrub typically grows 25-35 feet tall and forms a dense, rounded crown, making it an excellent choice for lawns or street sides. Its ability to endure urban conditions, including drought and heavy clay soils, ensures effortless maintenance in average, medium moisture, well-drained locations with full sun to part shade.

Hedge Maple is prized for its adaptability, thriving even in compact, polluted urban settings. Its shallow root system aids in easy transplantation, while its capacity to be pruned into a tall hedge or screening barrier is ideal for utility line clearance. While its yellow fall foliage is not consistently vibrant, the tree offers significant ecological benefits, supporting pollinators and birds, enhancing your garden or recreational areas.
