'Carnival' field maple (Acer campestre 'Carnival') is a tree for hedges, privacy screens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly into a rounded shape. The spring flowers bring butterflies, bees, and birds to your yard. It also tolerates drought once settled.
