Liquidambar styraciflua
American sweetgum
A fast-growing deciduous tree reaching 20-25 m with a crown 6-12 m wide, carrying green leaves that turn orange and red in autumn. The scale asks for parks, avenues and large gardens rather than confined plots. Hardy to zone 6A and best on deep, moist, acid soil.

About sizes
CLT is a container volume in litres, VRL the same in a decorative red container. M is a field-grown plant lifted with its root ball, MGR the same grown in isolation and wire-balled. RN is bare root, available in the dormant season. T is a full standard and POT a planter. Heights are given as a range in centimetres; trunk girth is the circumference measured at one metre. A larger container is not always dearer: a trained or grafted form of the same volume costs more than a bush, and the form is named on the row.
