There is {missing data} extracted by no extraction method from the tree's {missing data} yielding n/a - n/a oil. The tree's wood is called {missing data} and has a density of 680 - 700 kg/m³. Regarding firewood production the tree's growing speed is slow, it's energetic value is 4400 ckal/kg and the wood's drying speed is medium. After 100 years the tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal. Acer campestre has a lifespan of 300 years.
