Queen Elizabeth Hedge Maple Tree

This vigorous cultivar of the field maple features a compact, relatively narrow growth habit with branches ascending at a 45-degree angle. Its glossy, dark green leaves are larger than the species and turn a striking deep yellow in autumn. Highly adaptable and resilient, it thrives in urban environments, tolerating air pollution, drought, and various soil types including chalk. It is an excellent choice for street planting or as a uniform specimen in medium-sized gardens, requiring minimal pruning.
