American Sweetgum
Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Worplesdon’ has an upright, pyramidal shape, and its outer branches droop gracefully. Its leaves are similar in shape to those of a maple tree, with fine cuts and deep lobes. In the autumn, the leaves are a striking mix of purple, red, orange, and yellow. When grown in dry soil, Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Worplesdon’ develops a taproot that helps to reinforce it against wind.

Liquidambar styraciflua is native from central and eastern United States to Central America.
