Field maple ??

Fruits with wings ?
The field maple (Acer campestre, Aceraceae family) is a tree that reaches 12 meters in height (sometimes even 20 meters) but is usually smaller, similar to a large shrub.
In May, the small yellow-green flowers ? appear, clustered in corymbs (inflorescences similar to umbrellas).
The fruits of these trees have some kind of wings ? that allow the seeds to move away from the parent plant.
The field maple is common in mixed deciduous woods, in hilly areas and in low mountains. It is also used for the formation of hedges, as it tolerates pruning very well, even when done extensively.
This maple is a slow growing tree and can live for over 200 years.
