Trees
The bark is light brown and flaky, and twigs are slender and brown and develop a corky bark with age. Small, grey leaf buds grow on long stems. Field maples can grow to 20m and live for up to 350 years.
Look out for: new seeds which are tinged with pink and the wings on the seeds set in a straight line.
Identified in winter by: the older twigs which have corky ridges and small, grey leaf buds.
