An attractive ornamental tree. The Sweetgum Tree (Liquidamber styraciflua 'Worplesdon') cloaks itself in appealing decorative foliage. Frequently, considered to be related to maples as its leaves are somewhat similar in shape, but no relation!. In North and Central America, this is a native woodland tree, with its timber imported as satin walnut for furniture. However, in Britain, it is the more the foliage that makes it worthy of planting. When its foliage is crushed, it gives a rather pleasant, sweet resinous aroma. Expect a final height of 28m (93ft 4in). A large garden is a pre-requisite, to truly appreciate this tree. Our Sweetgum Tree is supplied at a height of between 1.5m (5ft) and 1.7m (5ft 8in) in a 12 L container for year round planting and better results than from bare-root or rootballed stock. Message card included at no additional cost if required. Just add the information required on the card at checkout.
All ornamental trees (not vines) are topped at 1.3 metres to encourage a natural ornamental tree shape with obvious exceptions e.g. patio sizes.This means that your tree was pruned during the growing process and then allowed to grow to the size it is now supplied at. Multiple Order Discount
