About Liquidambar styraciflua (Sweetgum)

Liquidambar styraciflua - Liquidambar styraciflua, commonly called sweet gum, is a low-maintenance deciduous shade tree. It typically grows to 60-80’ tall with a straight trunk. Habit is pyramidal in youth, but it gradually develops an oval-rounded crown as it matures. Glossy, long-stalked, deep green leaves. Leaves are fragrant when bruised. Fall color at its best is a brilliant mixture of yellows, oranges, purples and reds. Branchlets may have distinctive corky ridges. Non-showy, monoecious, yellow-green flowers appear in spherical clusters in April-May. Gum balls mature to dark brown and usually remain on the tree through the winter, but can create clean-up problems during the general period of December through April as the clusters fall to the ground. Family : Hamamelidaceae
