Opis
The flowers are bisexual and united in yellowish inflorescences. They bloom from March to May. A flat seed with a wing is spread by the wind. The fruit consists of two winged partial carpels of reddish or green color, which are short hairy or glabrous and 2.5 to 3 cm long. Field maple is found on light, deep and humus-rich calcareous soils. It tolerates drought, salt, shade and winter cold well. It is also found on moist, flooded soils and in lowland oak forests. The wood is light brown to reddish white, with clearly visible annuals and it is also hard. Its structure is dense due to slow growth.
