'''''Acer campestre''''', [[common name]] '''Field Maple''', is a [[maple]] native to much of [[Europe]], north to southern [[England]] (where it is the only native maple), [[Denmark]], [[Poland]] and [[Belarus]], and also southwest [[Asia]] from [[Turkey]] to the [[Caucasus]], and north [[Africa]] in the [[Atlas Mountains]].<ref name=fe>Flora Europaea: [http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/cgi-bin/nph-readbtree.pl/feout?FAMILY_XREF=&GENUS_XREF=Acer&SPECIES_XREF=campestre&TAXON_NAME_XREF=&RANK= ''Acer campestre'']</ref><ref name=empp>Euro+Med Plantbase Project: [http://ww2.bgbm.org/_EuroPlusMed/PTaxonDetail.asp?NameId=811&PTRefFk=500000 ''Acer campestre'']</ref><ref name=fnwe>Flora of NW Europe: [http://ip30.eti.uva.nl/BIS/flora.php?selected=beschrijving&menuentry=soorten&id=3147 ''Acer campestre'']</ref><ref name=rushforth>Rushforth, K.

It is a [[deciduous]] [[tree]] reaching 15-25 m tall, with a trunk up to 1 m diameter, with finely fissured, often somewhat [[cork (tissue)|corky]] [[bark]]. The shoots are brown, with dark brown winter [[bud]]s. The [[leaf|leaves]] are in opposite pairs, 5-16 cm long (including the 3-9 cm petiole) and 5–10 cm broad, with five blunt, rounded lobes with a smooth margin. Usually [[monoecious]], the [[flower]]s are produced in spring at the same time as the leaves open, yellow-green, in erect clusters 4-6 cm across, and are insect pollinated. The [[fruit]] is a [[Samara (fruit)|samara]] with two winged [[seed]]s aligned at 180º, each seed 8-10 mm wide, flat, with a 2 cm wing.<ref name=rushforth/><ref name=afm/> {{Inc| Acer campestre, Linn.
