Sweetgum Tree | Liquidambar styraciflua

• Sweetgum trees are beautifully shaped and unrivalled for autumn displays of colour
• Star-shaped foliage, aromatic when bruised,  emerges bright emerald green in spring and darkens as it matures. In autumn the tree is a riot of brilliant orange, red and purple tones and bristly gum balls adorn the tree throughout winter
• Winner of RHS Award of Garden Merit
• A dense, rounded pyramidal crown makes this an excellent specimen shade tree
• Fully hardy and resistant to pests and diseases, Sweetgum will grow happily in almost any soil
• Flowers throughout spring
• Grows up to 12x8m
• Sweetgum trees have attractive fissured bark that develops deep ridges as the tree matures. The name ‘Sweetgum’ comes from the sticky, sweetly fragrant resin they produce if cut. 
• Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
• Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better-shaped tree. This can stop the tree from becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
