Why Choose Field Maple for Hedging

Field maple hedging is both adaptable and tidy, making it a valued, classic variety. It forms a dense hedge, thriving whether in a large garden or more compact space. Regular trimming encourages thick growth from the base upwards, helping to create a solid screen that looks good throughout the seasons.

Native field maple hedges support wildlife too. Spring flowers provide early pollen for insects, while the dense foliage offers shelter for birds. As part of a mixed or single-species hedge, a field maple hedge blends beautifully with other native plants, or stands confidently on its own as a structured green boundary. It tolerates a range of soil types and conditions, including clay and chalk.

Planting and Caring for Field Maple Hedging

Bare root hedges are sold and are best planted from late autumn through early spring while dormant, allowing roots to establish before active growth begins. Choose a position in sun or light shade and prepare the soil well, removing weeds and loosening the ground along the planting line. Space plants evenly to encourage a neat, attractive hedge from end to end.

Water well during the first growing season, particularly in dry weather. Once established, field maple requires minimal attention. An annual trim in late summer keeps the hedge neat and encourages dense growth. Over time, field maple hedges respond well to shaping, making it easy to maintain your preferred height and width without excessive effort.
