Acer campestre ‘Elsrijk’ is a high-quality cultivar. It is a tree that has been widely used as a street tree for many years. The tree can grow to a height of 8 to 12 meters and forms a dense, conical crown.
The main ornamental feature is the three- to five-lobed leaves, which are a fresh green color; however, they are smaller than those of the species. In the fall, the leaves take on a beautiful yellow color. The fruit consists of the characteristic winged nuts, which always grow in pairs.
The tree was selected by Mr. Broerse at the Amstelveen municipal nursery. The parent trees of Acer campestre ‘Elsrijk’ can still be found on a street in Amstelveen.
