SWEETGUM

Liquidambar styraciflua, commonly referred to as Sweet Gum is a large, deciduous shade tree that is typically found in moist woods and along streams. It has a straight trunk and a pyramidal habit when young. It gradually becomes more oval-round as it matures. Its star-shaped leaves turn bright shades of yellow, orange and red in fall. Corky bark adds winter interest.

The Sweet Gum grows tall, reaching 60-70 feet and will be ideal for large parks and fields where its roots have room to grow. It thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun to partial shade with a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize annually with a balanced fertilizer. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote healthy growth.
