Elsrijk Field Maple Trees

Acer campestre Elsrijk Maples Trees

‘Elsrijk’ is a handsome, cultivated field maple that’s often used as an urban street or parkland tree. It’s a tough, hardy customer that will thrive in almost any soil conditions, including near the coast, wet sites, and in compacted urban soils.
The dark green foliage turns the most beautiful golden shade of butterscotch yellow in autumn.
It can reach 10 metres tall and 6 metres wide in about 25 years, ideal for most gardens.

Growing Elsrijk

Maples are generally easy to grow. Pests like aphids and caterpillars should be dealt with on young trees to get them off to a strong start, but after that good gardening practices, such as appropriate weeding and feeding, together with our range of organic garden products, will help keep your trees healthy and beautiful.

‘Elsrijk’ makes a handsome stand-alone specimen tree, or looks great in groves. It makes an effective component of a ‘green’ garden, combined with formal hedges, whether evergreen box or yew, or neatly clipped beech.
It would be a great choice for a tree lined drive, underplanted with spring bulbs.
