Field Maple - Acer campestre
A refined deciduous maple with a naturally dense canopy, warm autumn colour, and exceptional versatility across formal and contemporary landscapes. Acer campestre delivers structure, shade, and seasonal presence, at scale, immediately.
Why Field Maple

Climate and soil adaptability: Performs reliably across a wide range of Australian conditions and soil types.
Canopy shade: Provides meaningful shade through summer without excessive spread or root aggression.
Responds to training: Ideal for pleaching, hedging, or clipped formal structures, takes direction well.
Ideal Applications
Avenue and street planting: Uniform habit and tidy canopy make it a leading choice for formal driveway and boulevard installations.
Pleached screens: Trains readily into elevated formal screens for privacy and architectural definition.
Feature specimen: Planted as advanced stock, it delivers immediate structure and seasonal drama to prestige landscapes.
Courtyard and constrained sites: A considered choice where space is limited but visual weight is required.
