I got a Field Maple Tree. Thought I'd find out a bit about it!

Field Maple tree
A deciduous British native tree particularly valued for the wildlife it supports, its small size (seldom over 18 metres tall) and subtle autumn foliage colour. Traditionally it was often managed as underwood game cover and hedgerows. Cut back, or even coppiced, it produces bushy regrowth giving excellent low level shelter from the wind. Before the 1850s 'Birds Eye' maple veneers were cut from field maple burrs and roots. Today the timber is hardly used at all, although there is still a demand for wavy figured and burry maple wood for ornamental cabinet work and craft items.
Size: in 10 yrs=6metres-20 yrs 10metres-event.hgt. 15metres Environment: Adaptable to many soils, including very alkaline, very acid, dry or compacted sites. Withstands air pollutions and tolerates uraban areas. Key Features: Good colouring of leaves in auturm, yellow, gold and sometimes purple.
