Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Festeri’
American Sweetgum
Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Festeri’ has smooth bark and puts on a brilliant autumn display of red, purple, yellow, and orange colors that can last well into winter in warmer areas, making it an excellent choice for adding seasonal interest to the garden. However, it’s important to note that in dry soil, Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Festeri’ produces a taproot that helps reinforce it against wind, but in wetter soil, it only grows superficial roots and cannot tolerate much wind. Liquidambar styraciflua is native from central and eastern United States to Central America. Learn more about Liquidambar styraciflua. Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Festeri’ was discovered by Mr Fester, a gardener at Kenmore Hospital in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia and was named in his honour by the Hazelwood Brothers nursery in New South Wales, Australia in 1947.
