The Sienna Glen- Maple, Acer freemanni, is a naturally occurring hybrid found on an abandoned farmstead in Lake Elmo, MN. It has a distinct, upright, pyramidal growth habit which is readily apparent as a young tree, and becomes a broad pyramid when mature. Sienna exhibits vigorous growth. The branches are borne closer together, finer and more delicate. The wood is harder, stouter and exhibits less drooping. The smaller, finer texture dark-green leaves have a silvery underside. Fall color is a mix of yellow, orange and red. A Dennis Heins introduction, Sienna Glen- Maple is used by landscape architects because of its broad pyramidal form, fine texture and interesting fall coloration. It is a reliable and useful choice with its natural form, hardiness, adaptability to a variety of soil conditions, and low maintenance!
