The Field Maple on the old cemetery

Field Maple | Acer campestre

This native species occurs in large parts of western and central Europe. A moderately nutrient-rich and moderately moist soil is preferred. A sunny spot is much appreciated. The Field Maple is related to the Common Maple trees.

This maple is a pioneer. If there is a hole somewhere in the forest, he will quickly fill it. The tree is rather a large shrub that can grow between 3 and 10 meters high. This maple feels especially 'happy' along a forest edge, as a hedge between two plots or at the edge of a stream. Striking are the small hand-shaped leaves that turn a beautiful yellow in autumn. You often see this species as a deciduous hedge around larger gardens.

This tree is located in the old cemetery. It is open to the public on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM.
