UK Field Maple Hedge / Hedging – Acer Campestre

UK Field Maple Hedge / Hedging:

The UK Field Maple should never be underestimated as a hedging tree. It’s malleable bending stems can be worked and shaped into an impenetrable woven barrier, whilst its dense foliage creates a luscious range of colours that differ from season to season.

It is highly adaptable and grows well in a variety of soils and conditions. It is also tolerant of trimming, making it ideal for creating neat and tidy hedges.

The native hardy British maple tree is ideal for hedgerows on farmland and privately owned land, as well as being an impressive addition to any garden. Its swift growth rate of 40cm to 60cm every year makes it well placed in a range of environments. Additionally, UK Field Maple hedges bring an abundance of nature to its area.

The Advantages of Hedging for Wildlife:

Laying a UK Field Maple Hedge is much more valuable to the environment than the hedge itself. As a native species, it offers a multitude of advantages to our local wildlife. It is a true asset to the natural world, offering nesting and roosting sites, as well as much sustenance for our local British birds.

This tree is a great option for hedging due to its compatibility with almost any soil type. This makes it a superior option when compared to other varieties for this purpose.

Visible Qualities:

As for its eye-catching colours and unique patterns, this broad leaf hedge is also durable and rot-resistant, making it an optimal tree for planting in most soils. Boasting a long lifespan of up to 350 years, it is a worthwhile consideration for any new hedgerow, or one which requires some additional work.

Planting our Field Maples can not only attract wildlife and improve biodiversity, but also act as a swift way to counter a company’s carbon emissions.
