Field Maple is a medium-sized deciduous tree. It has a very wide ecological range and a natural distribution covering most of Europe.
The timber is of good quality for cabinetry, turnery and carving, but the tree only rarely reaches a feasible dimension for such use. Instead, Field Maple is mostly used for firewood and pulpwood, owing to its capabilities of coppicing very quickly.
It is also commonly planted as an ornamental in gardens and parks due to its beautiful colours in autumn. The sap can be used for maple syrup and the flowers are beneficial for honey production. Furthermore, its fibrous root system also makes it useful for combating soil erosion.
The tree prefers warmer climates but is able to tolerate hard winters. Field maple grows well on moist soil types including calcareous and even heavy clay. As a young tree it is extremely shade-tolerant and can be grown as a hedge either pure or mixed with other species.
