Acer saccharum ‘Newton Sentry’ is a narrow, upright selection of Sugar Maple that combines the beauty of the native species with a space-saving form. Its dense, columnar habit makes it ideal for streetscapes, smaller landscapes, and properties where a traditional Sugar Maple would be too broad. Rich green foliage provides welcome shade throughout the summer before transforming into brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn. Hardy, long-lived, and adaptable, Newton Sentry develops into a stately specimen with minimal maintenance. It offers outstanding fall color and the classic character of Sugar Maple in a refined, vertical silhouette.
