A field maple with a 3.5 metre waist is an oddity.
Field Maple
Field maple is the tree that fills gaps between hedgerows rather than anchoring a park, which is exactly why the four mapped here stand out from their own species. This page maps every field maple on the site, 5 so far across 4 cities.
Prague's, in the Seminary Garden above a pond, carries the group's most precise age, estimated at 160 to 170 years. Graz protects two: one on the wooded Schlossberg hill with no recorded age at all, and one in the Augarten already listed as protection-worthy in a 1956 survey, decades before its formal 1979 designation, giving it a documented floor of at least seventy years. Lisbon's, in Parque Bensaude, has no dated record either. Acer campestre rarely gets a second look; these four earned protection or a place on this map anyway.

Field maples are usually shrubs.
Utrecht
Every other maple in this city is an immigrant.
Graz
Graz keeps a live public register of its protected trees, and this field maple has held a place on it since the year 2000, growing on the wooded hill above the old town where a fortress once stood...
This field maple carries an unusually solid floor under its age.
