LIQUIDAMBAR STY ROTUNDILOBA
Grower Notes:

Liquidambar styraciflua 'Rotundiloba', commonly known as Rotundiloba Sweetgum, offers a refined take on the classic American Sweetgum. What sets this distinguished variety apart are its unique rounded leaf lobes, a departure from the typical sharply pointed, star-shaped leaves of the species. This subtle yet significant difference creates a softer, more inviting texture in the landscape.

Beyond its distinct foliage, 'Rotundiloba' is a fruitless cultivar, eliminating the messy, spiky "gumballs" often associated with Sweetgums, making it an ideal choice for urban settings, patios, or any area where litter is a concern.

In fall, its glossy green summer leaves transition into a showy display of orange-purple, providing a captivating seasonal show.

Rotundiloba Sweetgum thrives in full sun and prefers deep, moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils, though it exhibits good adaptability to a variety of conditions once established.
