Liquidambar Trees For Sale (Liquidambar Styraciflua) Sweet Gum Tree

The Sweet Gum (Liquidambar Styraciflua) is one of our most popular ornamental trees and makes a wonderful choice for gardens. Unusual and exotic looking star shaped glossy green foliage (similar to an Acer) that turns to brilliant Autumn hues of yellow, orange and red over a long period, interesting corky bark and ornamental seed clusters or ‘Gumballs’ on older trees make this a true all-rounder.

The bark of Liquidambar trees is curious and corky giving year round interest even after the leaves have dropped and make for great for kids bark rubbings – just add paper and a crayon!

Liquidambar Styraciflua trees will grow in any reasonable soil that does not become waterlogged in winter, these are low maintenance deciduous plants needing little aftercare.
