Bare Root Acer campestre (Field Maple) – 10/25 Bundles

‘Field Maple – Hedge Maple’  A medium-sized picturesque, deciduous tree, often used in rustic hedges.   Soft green leaves in spring turn a clear yellow, sometimes tinged orange or red in autumn.   Plant in most types of moist, well drained soil, in full sun or partial shade.   Will tolerate chalky soils.   Hardiness rating H6.  If purchasing for hedging, plant 5 per metre for a single row and 7 per metre for a double staggered row.

Sold in bundles of 10/25 whips.

1+0  Field grown from seed in one season – seedling (or sometimes called a whip), which is generally a single stem plant.   These are suitable for planting where soil is shallow or on exposed windy sites or weed competition is less intense.

1+1  A two year old plant grown from seed in the first year and then transplanted from the seed bed into a different area of the field, and spaced out for the second growing season, which produces a robust plant with a larger, more robust root system that the 1+0 or 1U1 plants, thereby enabling it to more easily withstand drought and weed competition.   A good choice for farm hedging.
