Also known as Hedge Maple, this native tree is often used in countryside hedging alongside other native species and on the edges of woodland. It is a fast-growing and resilient hedging plant which provides interest from seasonal colour across the year.

Plant Interest 
Field Maple is attractive to wildlife with the flowers providing nectar for bees and birds and the habitat supporting a wide range of insects.
