Autumn colour is the great strength of an American sweetgum tree, but its range of shapes makes it useful long before the leaves change. A columnar sweet gum tree suits a narrower position, while broader forms are available as large potted trees and mature ornamental trees for faster impact.
Liquidambar styraciflua has star-shaped foliage that opens fresh green and can turn yellow, orange, crimson and purple in autumn. The different sweet gum tree varieties offer elegant pyramidal or spreading crowns, useful summer shade and, in many forms, corky bark that adds winter character. A small sweet gum tree can suit a more modest garden, while larger forms make impressive avenue or landscape trees.
