Field Maple Elsrijk

Acer campestre Elsrijk, a distinguished cultivar of Field Maple, encapsulates all the desirable traits of its parent species, Acer campestre, while boasting an additional advantage of crown uniformity. Unlike its parent tree, it showcases a notably dense and compact crown, making it an exemplary choice for narrow streets—a feature that sets it apart.

This cultivar exhibits a more regularly shaped oval habit compared to the expected rounded shape of the parent tree, aligning it with other esteemed cultivars like Elegant and Arends.

Tolerant of various soil types, Acer campestre Elsrijk thrives best in nutrient-rich, well-drained soils. Demonstrating resilience akin to many native trees, it withstands drought, air pollution, and soil compaction with ease.

At maturity, Field Maple Elsrijk attains a medium to large size, making it particularly suitable for projects that demand greater uniformity than what the parent tree can provide. Additionally, its extensive utilisation as a street tree in urban settings underscores its adaptability and versatility.
