Acer campestre 'Louisa Red Shine' (Field Maple)

The new leaves are flushed with crimson before turning mauve/green as the season progresses.

There are very few trees with native origin that have this degree of leaf colour interest throughout the growing season.

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.

An ideal subject for streets, parks and verges.

Mature height: 10-15m
