Sweetgum
In stock · from $429.00
One of the most cold-hardy Sweetgum trees. Grows taller first and eventually gains more width with age. A strong central leader provides a pyramidal form until maturity when the canopy opens to a more oval look. Large, star-shaped deep green leaves become yellow, orange, red or burgundy in fall. Prefers acidic to neutral soil pH. Tolerates clay or sand with appropriate watering. Fruits can be messy but are food for wild animals. Roots can be aggressive, needs at least 8-10' of trunk clearance to prevent lifting of sidewalks or driveways.
