Notes
'Evenley Red' field maple (Acer campestre 'Evenley Red') 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 has a rounded shape and grows slowly. Its spring flowers draw butterflies, bees, and birds, and it tolerates drought once settled.
Pairs well with Shumard oak, Feather reed grass, White snakeroot, and Indian grass.
