Treat wildlife and add structure to your garden with this Field Maple hedging. Witness a journey of colour across spring and summer as young green leaves change to an autumnal shade of golden yellow as the year progresses.
In spring, pollen-rich yellowy green flowers blossom across the hedges, just as the leaves begin to appear and show off their full five-lobed shape.
Large leaves are perfect for nesting birds, while winged fruits, loved by small garden mammals such as voles and squirrels, are produced in autumn when the green colour abandons the leaves to make way for yellows and reds.
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence.
With an ability to thrive in most soil types, plant Field Maple hedges in full sun or partial shade, while avoiding full shade if possible. Eventually forming a full and satisfying hedge, this compact variety grows at a fast rate, by up to 30-60cm per year.
Don’t forget to use one of our handy bamboo cane and spiral guard sets when planting a bare root hedge. The cane will keep the bare root upright as it grows, while the spiral guard will protect the base of the plant from wildlife to achieve as thick a hedge as possible.
Supplied as 10 bare root hedges, 60-90cm tall, ready for planting.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
