Field Grown - Acer Campestre Field Maple

Field Grown plants are trees, hedges, and shrubs cultivated directly in open ground at our nursery until they reach maturity. Unlike plants raised in artificial environments, these specimens develop naturally in native soil, establishing robust root systems that spread freely without constraint. When ready for sale, they are carefully lifted from the ground - either as bare root plants (with soil removed) or root ball plants (with a substantial soil ball) and transplanted to their new home.

Field Grown plants are ideal for customers planning ahead and seeking mature, robust specimens for substantial landscape projects.

The Handling and Planting of Field Grown Plants

Restricted Planting Season
Field grown plants must be planted during dormancy—typically November through March in the UK. Outside this window, establishment success decreases significantly, and availability is limited.

Immediate Planting Required
Bare root plants, in particular, must be planted promptly after delivery. Their exposed roots are vulnerable to drying winds and cannot be stored indefinitely like container plants.

Initial Root Loss
The lifting process inevitably severs some roots. While field grown plants recover well, they require consistent watering during their first growing season to compensate for this disturbance—particularly root ball specimens.
