Description
Acer campestre ‘Elsrijk’ is a refined cultivar of the native Field Maple, valued for its compact, dense growth habit and strong, uniform crown. It forms a neat, rounded canopy, making it particularly suitable for urban planting, streets, and medium-sized gardens.
Fresh green lobed leaves provide an attractive summer canopy before turning rich golden-yellow in autumn, delivering reliable seasonal colour. This variety is especially tolerant of pollution, compacted soils, and exposed conditions, making it a popular choice for avenue planting and landscape schemes.
Hardy, adaptable, and low maintenance, ‘Elsrijk’ performs well in a wide range of soil types and environments.
Supplied as a standard tree with 12–14cm girth in a 70-litre pot, approximately 3–3.5m in height, this well-established specimen offers immediate structure and long-term performance.
