LIQUIDAMBAR STYRACIFLUA
Grower Notes:
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.
