This field maple is around 200 years old, making it the oldest tree on the farm.

Field maple is a native species, which means it is found naturally in the UK. The field maple provides a home for many insects, birds and animals.

» TREES IN FIELDS

Trees in fields can provide welcome shade for livestock and an attractive landscape feature.

Organic standards do not allow the ploughing of land around the base of field trees as this can damage the root system and kill the tree.
