Acer campestre Nanum does best in rich well drained soils but does well in virtually any soil type and will readily tolerate drought soil compaction and air pollution.
The leaves of this mop headed cultivar of Common Field Maple are smaller and darker than those of the species and they form a very dense crown.
Very good for streets and residential plantings or any site where space is at a premium.
This clone has long been in cultivation and was introduced in the 1830s.
