Acer Campestre 'Elsrijk' 130 Litre (20-25cm Girth)

Acer campestre 'Elsrijk' has the advantage of a more uniform, oval to conical shaped crown than the Field maple tree it was cultivated from. The leaves of 'Elsrijk' are a classic, maple shape with their defined lobes. The young leaves start off a bright green with red edging, maturing to a mid-green. In autumn, the tree really delivers impact when the leaves turn a glorious golden yellow-orange colour.

This Field maple reaches a statuesque 9 metre height in 20 years. This deciduous tree is hardy and although it prefers well-drained, rich soil, it can tolerate drought, air pollution and soil compaction once it has established.
