10 Seeds Acer campestre Hedge Maple Tree Shade Tree Bonsai Hardy Deciduous

Acer campestre, commonly known as Hedge Maple, is a versatile deciduous tree valued for its compact size and tidy, rounded canopy. Its small, lobed green leaves turn a warm golden-yellow in autumn, making it an attractive choice for gardens, hedgerows, and container growing.

Well suited as a specimen or shade tree in smaller landscapes, Hedge Maple also adapts readily to pruning and is a popular subject for bonsai and topiary. The winged seeds add seasonal interest, and its steady, moderate growth habit makes it easy to manage in a range of settings.
