Acer Campestre

Field Maple

Acer campestre 'Elsrijk' – A Compact and Resilient Field Maple

Acer campestre 'Elsrijk' is a refined, compact variety of the native Field Maple, prized for its dense, uniform crown and vibrant seasonal foliage. With a naturally upright growth habit and excellent tolerance to urban conditions, it is an ideal choice for streetscapes, small gardens, and formal landscapes.

Seasonal Beauty & Growth

In spring, fresh bright green leaves emerge, forming a dense and neatly rounded canopy. By summer, the foliage maintains its rich green colour, providing an elegant, structured appearance. Come autumn, golden-yellow hues take over, creating a spectacular seasonal display before the leaves fall. Small, yellow-green flowers appear in spring, followed by distinctive winged seeds (samaras) in autumn.

Structure & Form

Acer campestre 'Elsrijk' has a more compact, upright growth habit than the standard Field Maple, reaching 7m in height with a dense, oval-shaped crown. Its smooth, grey-brown bark develops subtle ridges with age, adding year-round interest. Unlike the standard species, 'Elsrijk' maintains a naturally uniform shape, requiring little pruning.

Growing Conditions & Care

  • Position: Thrives in full sun to partial shade.
  • Soil: Adaptable to chalky, clay, loamy, or sandy soils; prefers well-drained conditions.
  • Hardiness: Fully frost and drought-tolerant once established.
  • Maintenance: Minimal pruning is required due to its naturally compact shape.

Perfect Plant Combinations

  1. Evergreens – Pair with evergreens like Taxus baccata (English Yew) or Juniperus communis for year-round contrast and structure.
  2. Flowering ShrubsRhododendron or Spiraea provide color contrast in spring and summer while complementing the tree’s seasonal leaf changes.
  3. PerennialsHosta, Astilbe, or Heuchera work well in shaded areas beneath the canopy, adding texture and interest.
  4. Groundcovers – Low-growing plants like Vinca minor (Periwinkle) or Pachysandra can fill in spaces beneath the tree, offering a green carpet and minimizing weeds.
  5. Other Deciduous Trees – Pair with smaller trees like Prunus species (Cherry trees) or Malus species (Crabapple) for a beautiful layered landscape with complementary foliage and flowers.
