I planted a bareroot Acer campestre hedge 12 months ago . For what i know is that Decidous trees start to get new leaves in April . Is it too early for my hedge to be coming into leaf ?. Most of the hedge is showing swelling green buds .

The bud break date of trees varies very considerably from year to year.
Field maple is quite early to break bud compared to some, such as ash, and it has been a relatively mild winter, although recent weeks have hauled it back. It is completely hardy in any case.
