Liquidambar – Sweetgum

Liquidambar, or Sweetgum, is a striking genus of deciduous trees celebrated for their star-shaped leaves and unique, spiky fruit capsules. They make excellent shade trees in larger landscapes and can also serve as versatile focal points in parks and gardens. Sweetgums are particularly admired for their brilliant fall foliage, displaying shades of yellow, orange, and red, while their seed pods add winter interest. A Midwest native, they support wildlife and provide multi-season beauty!
