The Montpellier Maple is a small robust slow growing tree named after the region in Southern France and a favourite amongst gardeners. It is extremely hardy to -25 C and prefers rocky calcareous sites. Similar in size and appearance to the Field Maple (Acer campestre) it is a great choice for a small garden or planted as a screen or windbreak. It is a deciduous tree with delicate bright green new foliage in spring, darkening in summer and transforming into butter yellow to orange in the Autumn. Once established it is very drought resistant and undemanding.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
