Bring spectacular colour, elegance and architectural beauty to your garden with our Extra Large Liquidambar styraciflua Sweet Gum Tree, supplied as an impressive 5ft tall established specimen in a substantial 7.5 litre nursery pot. Renowned for its breathtaking autumn foliage and beautifully shaped canopy, this magnificent ornamental tree is an outstanding choice for creating instant gardening impact and a mature, established garden effect.
During spring and summer, Liquidambar produces a stunning display of glossy, star-shaped green leaves, creating a fresh and elegant appearance. As the seasons change, the foliage transforms into an extraordinary combination of fiery reds, vibrant oranges, golden yellows, rich burgundy and deep purple, delivering one of the most spectacular autumn displays of any ornamental garden tree.
Naturally developing an elegant, upright, pyramidal shape when young, Liquidambar gradually matures into a magnificent specimen with a beautifully structured canopy. Its attractive foliage, graceful branching and distinctive textured bark make it a wonderful architectural feature throughout the seasons.
