Liquidambar styraciflua (American Sweetgum)

Liquidambar styraciflua, commonly known as American sweetgum, is a standout choice for delivering vibrant autumn colour across NZ landscapes.

Renowned for its striking display of red, orange, yellow, and purple tones, sweetgum creates a bold seasonal feature that makes it ideal for avenues, parks, and large-scale plantings. Its strong, upright form adds structure and presence throughout the year.

Well suited to feature planting and streetscapes, Liquidambar styraciflua is widely used in both residential and commercial projects where reliable seasonal impact is desired.
