Acer × zoeschense
Maple hybrid / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acer × zoeschense, the Zöschen maple, is a hybrid maple, a cross between Acer campestre (field maple), and either Acer lobelii (L'Obel's maple)[1][2] or Acer cappadocicum (Cappadocian maple).[3][4] While Field Maple parentage is universally accepted, the second parent is uncertain, though the tree's extensive production of root sprouts favours A. cappadocicum over A. lobelii.[3] It takes its name from Zöschen Nurseries in Germany, where it first appeared as a garden hybrid (as opposed to a hybrid occurring in nature) at some time before 1870.[1][4]
