Talk:Acer campestre

Field maple?

Who calls A. campestre "field maple"? Everyone in England. It is, after all native to the Palearctic region and is not native to north America. It is almost universally called "hedge maple" by both growers and scholars. The definitive work Maples for Gardens: A Color Encyclopedia by C.J. van Gelderen & D.M. van Gelderen (1999) doesn't even include "field maple" in its very long list of common names and cultivars. I have therefore renamed the article but in doing so I do not intend to "step on any toes", especially those of my good fellow Wikipedians in the UK who might use the name "field maple". The van Gelderens seem to me to be a sufficiently respected and non-Americacentric source to justify this. ◄HouseOfScandal► 03:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

• Um, okay, well I am only human...and I rechecked van Gelderen and found "field maple" listed as a common name. I'll change this article back out of respect for my fellow Wikipedians in the UK for whom it is their sole native maple species. Mea culpa. ◄HouseOfScandal►16:20, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Unreferenced comment

User 213.156.52.113 is quite right, that sentence has no place in the head paragraph, it concerns the cultivated plant, the name Hedge Maple is already mentioned below, and it is enough. Also the references as required by Wikipedia policy are missing. The references #1 to #5 are mentioning only Field Maple. Further how is that an European plant is receiving in the English language a name not used in Europe? Olivier —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.217.27.215 (talk) 20:02, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Two forms?

Here in Central Europe we have to forms of Acer Campestre. One of them has bark on small branches smooth, the other one has small branches rather corky with deep vertical ridges. See here: http://www.sharkan.net/images/dendrologie/acer_campestre_stepni_forma/acer_campestre_stepni_forma_03.jpg

The latter is known as "steppe form". However, this info is from personal experience, I have no reference :( —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.173.47.239 (talk) 16:06, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Acer campestre has two varieties: Acer monspessulanum and Acer tataricum. Bigshotnews 01:35, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
