Acer campestre 'Evenley Red'

(Field Maple) Selected by Tim Whiteley in a Northamptonshire hedgerow, this lovely new form of our native Field Maple grows to be a handsome small tree in time with  exceptional, rich-red, autumn colours. A specimen in our arboretum has coloured brilliantly on our heavy clay, neutral soil since it was first planted in 1999.

Acer campestre 'Evenley Red' is a rare, highly ornamental small tree ideal for most gardens or woodland areas. Not instant gratification but very striking once established.

Usually develops best autumn colour when mature if planted in a position with plenty of sun.
