Create a spectacular display of autumn colour with our 3x Large Liquidambar Sweet Gum Trees (Liquidambar styraciflua), supplied as established 3–4ft tall potted trees. These magnificent ornamental trees are renowned for their outstanding seasonal colour, elegant shape and attractive maple-like foliage. Perfect for creating instant gardening impact, structure and a mature garden effect, Liquidambar trees are an excellent choice for larger gardens, landscaped grounds, avenues and impressive feature planting.
Throughout spring and summer, Liquidambar produces beautiful, glossy, star-shaped green leaves, creating a fresh and attractive display. As autumn approaches, the foliage transforms into an extraordinary mixture of fiery reds, brilliant oranges, golden yellows, rich purples and deep burgundy tones. Few ornamental trees can rival the spectacular autumn display of a well-established Sweet Gum tree, making it one of the finest choices for seasonal garden interest.
These attractive deciduous trees naturally develop an elegant, upright, pyramidal shape when young, gradually forming a broader, beautifully structured crown as they mature. Their distinctive foliage and architectural branching provide excellent ornamental value, while mature specimens develop attractive textured bark. Liquidambar is particularly effective when planted in groups, creating a wonderful avenue, boundary feature or woodland-style display.
Supplied as a collection of 3 established trees, each approximately 3–4ft tall, this excellent-value pack is ideal for gardeners and landscapers looking to create an impressive display across a larger planting area. Plant together for a dramatic autumn colour feature or position individually throughout the garden to provide structure, height and seasonal interest.

Please note: Liquidambar Sweet Gum Trees are deciduous, naturally losing their leaves during autumn and winter. Trees may therefore arrive without foliage during the dormant season. Each tree is supplied approximately 3–4ft tall in a nursery pot, although natural variations in height, branching, shape and fullness will occur. Autumn foliage colours vary depending on weather, soil conditions and seasonal temperatures. Liquidambar will eventually develop into a substantial tree, so allow adequate space for long-term growth and avoid planting too close to buildings. For best results, plant in a sunny or partially shaded position with fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil and water regularly while establishing.
