'William Caldwell' field maple (Acer campestre 'William Caldwell') is a tree for hedges and privacy screens. 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. Small spring flowers appear from early to late spring and attract butterflies, bees, and birds. It also tolerates drought once settled.
