Acer x freemanii ‘Sienna Glen®’
Zone: 3
Size: 50’ H x 35’ W
Some consider this the best of the Freeman Maple cultivars, due to its excellent form. Dense, even branching and a tidy, pyramidal shape result in the perfect shade tree. ‘Sienna Glen’ is a fast grower, but it puts on crown density and trunk diameter faster than height. Its fall color generally ranges from gold and orange to burgundy. Color change is progressive, changing throughout the season. Virtually seedless, it offers hues similar to sugar maples without the mess. Its leaves are smaller than most of the Freeman cultivars, making it more like its Red Maple parent. Adaptable and hardy, ‘Sienna Glen’ really is a reliable performer. Due to genetics, its root system should be given ample room.
