Description

Acer campestre ‘Nanum’ (‘Nanum’ Field Maple) is a selection marketed by Loudon Nurseries in England in 1839. It has a spherical shape, with a very dense crown. The tree can reach a height of 6 metres and a width of 2 to 3 metres. ‘Nanum’ is perfect for use as a sleek globe tree or trimmed block tree.

In April, the ‘Nanum’ field maple blooms quite discrete small, yellow-green corymbs. The palmate lobate leaves bud green with a red hue in April-May. In the summer, the selection bears winged brown fruit. Due to its compact shape, it is limited in how much it blooms or bears fruit. In the autumn, Acer campestre ‘Nanum’ turns a lovely golden yellow. With its dense branches, the tree is beloved among many different types of birds, who like to nest in it.

Acer campestre ‘Nanum’ can tolerate wind, heat, drought, air pollution, frost, deep shade and salt spray very well. It is a strong selection and a good climate tree. Because of its shape, the uses of the tree are somewhat limited; it is a nice tree for gardens and e.g. industrial areas. The ‘Nanum’ field maple can handle diseases relatively well to well, and is easy to maintain.

Winter hardiness

A plant's winter hardiness is the coldest area in which it is frost-resistant. This is based on the average annual minimum temperature. Winter hardiness zones are thirteen different frost zones in steps of 5.5 degrees Celsius. This format is an international standard for the hardiness of plants. The zones in which the plant is frost-resistant are always included in the description of trees and other vegetation.

Winter hardiness is a genetic characteristic and is not influenced by the location in which the plant is cultivated. This means that a plant that has been cultivated for many years in winter-hardiness zone 6 but has a winter hardiness of 3 is perfectly suited for replanting in a colder zone. It will thrive there thanks to its genetic characteristics.

When choosing planting for a project, the winter hardiness of the plants is extremely important. By choosing species that match the zone in which the project is being created, it is possible to ensure that plants can withstand the minimum temperature in that area.
