Field Maple is a lovely native species with soft green leaves with red tinges all summer & stunning yellow autumn colour. Field Maple is one of the species in our mixed native hedging packs
- if you're choosing your own species for a mixed native pack we suggest you include it primarily for its autumn colour
- but it's also very good as a single species hedge, particularly for areas of the garden that would benefit from a splash of autumn colour. Grows 40-60cm per year. Supplied in 2 litre pots. Potted Plants are a more developed plant as their root systems are not disturbed during the lifting & planting process. They can be planted year round & if necessary can be left in their pots for several weeks before planting if you are unsure as to when you will be able to get round to doing the work; all they need is a little water to keep them happy. As more mature plants you dont need quite as many per metre as the bare root plants (normally 3 to 5 would suffice depending on how dense you require your hedge & how quickly you need it to look established). Pots are a great way to create a new hedge effect more quickly.
