    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The attractive, lustrous and highly unusual foliage of this Liquidambar features rounded lobes, no points at all! This tree has a narrower, more pyramidal habit to 60-75' and in autumn has the show-stopping yellow-to-burgundy-red color sweetgums are known for. This cultivar is wonderful in that it is non-seed-setting, no messy (and spiky) seed balls to clean up; a great selection all around. S/M
