Acer campestre is a moderately sized deciduous tree with rounded, five-lobed deep green leaves, often tinted reddish-purple when young. Erect umbels of green flowers followed by red winged fruits and good autumn colours. This tree can be commonly found as a component in hedgerows where it is kept compact by pruning regularly or grown as a single specimen tree.
This Acer tree is supplied bare rooted suitable for planting from November until March or in a 10 litre container suitable for planting all year round. The total height of this tree is approximately 1.8-2.4m (6-8ft).
Our bare rooted trees are hand lifted from our nursery on the day or day before despatch. There will be no soil around the roots but they are covered with a bag to prevent them drying out. If you are unable to plant the trees immediately there is no need to panic. The trees are completely dormant this time of year, which means as long as the roots are kept out of the frost and well wrapped up no harm will come to them, although the sooner you can get them planted in the ground the better.
