Sweetgums have long been an American favorite. These Liquidambar styraciflua, or ‘Slender Silhouettes’, even more so for their columnar growth habit and brilliant fall color. They are deciduous and require occasional waterings once a solid root system has been established.
The start-shaped foliage and columnar habit make it the perfect choice for lining fences or propeties. The tight growing habit makes a no fuss tree, perfect for anyone looking for a taller statement piece in their yard that requires little to no maintenance.
