Widely distributed through most of Europe, southern Scandinavia and western Asia, the Field Maple with its burrs (or knots) produces "birds eye" maple, which was widely used in making furniture and veneers until the early Victorian era.
Native to England, but not found in Scotland or Ireland, this small to medium tree of rounded form was widely used in the Middle Ages for making musical instruments.
In autumn its leaves turn not just clear yellow, but also red and golden brown.
It does best in rich, well drained soils, but does well in virtually any soil type, and will readily tolerate drought, soil compaction and air pollution. A versatile, resilient and attractive species with a wide range of uses.
Mature height: 10-15m+
