Hedge Maple | Plant Profile

Hedge Maple (Acer campestre) are small deciduous trees that are native to Europe and Asia. They have a rounded shape and low branches that nearly touch the ground at the base. The base can even become mulit-stemmed and grown as a shrub.

Hedge Maple prefers average fertility, well drained soils in full sun to part shade. Once established they can tolerate light drought. They are tolerant of clay soils and air pollution.

These classic maples are perfect for shade in small or large yards. They are small enough to be planted near structures. They can be sheared and pruned to create high hedges if desired.
