Liquidambar styraciflua, commonly known as the American Sweetgum, is a deciduous tree native to eastern North America. It typically grows 15 to 20 meters tall, with a pyramidal to rounded shape and a straight trunk. The tree’s distinctive, star-shaped leaves turn vibrant red, orange, and yellow in autumn, creating a stunning fall display. In spring, it produces inconspicuous green flowers, followed by spiky, round seed pods. Liquidambar styraciflua thrives in well-drained, fertile soils and full sun. Known for its striking fall color and attractive bark, it is often used in landscaping as a specimen tree or for shade.
