Acer campestre Batch No:179206 with dry leaves increasingly retainedOur native field maple, grown widely in rural gardens and native woodland plantings. More compact than most maples, sharing the traditional leaf shape of the genus, but at a daintier size and with rounded tips. Bark is rustic and fissured. New growth has subtle coral pink hues, deeping to dark green, then phasing to rich yellow in autumn.
