Liquidambar styraciflua, commonly known as the Sweetgum tree, is a deciduous beauty revered for its majestic stature and stunning autumn foliage. Growing up to 25 meters tall, it forms a pyramidal crown adorned with distinctive star-shaped leaves that turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and purple in the fall. The tree's corky, deeply furrowed bark adds to its visual appeal. Sweetgums produce spiky fruit clusters that persist through winter, providing additional interest. Known for its adaptability and resilience, Liquidambar styraciflua is a popular choice for parks, urban landscapes, and gardens seeking a captivating display of seasonal colors.
