Liquidambar s. 'Slender Silhouette'

The Liquidambar s. 'Slender Silhouette', commonly known as the Slender Silhouette Sweetgum, is a remarkable tree known for its narrow, upright growth habit and stunning seasonal color changes. This deciduous tree reaches heights of up to 50 feet with a spread of just 15 feet, making it an excellent choice for smaller landscapes or urban settings where space is limited.

In spring, the tree showcases vibrant green foliage that transforms into a brilliant display of yellow, orange, and red hues in the fall, providing a striking contrast against the landscape. The star-shaped leaves are not only visually appealing but also add texture and interest throughout the growing season.

Adaptable to a variety of soil types, the Slender Silhouette thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is also known for its tolerance to urban conditions, making it suitable for streetscapes and parks. This tree is relatively low-maintenance once established, requiring minimal pruning and care.

The Slender Silhouette Sweetgum produces small, spiky seed pods that can add a unique element to your garden design. While these pods may not be favored by all, they provide additional interest during the winter months when the tree is bare.

With its elegant form and stunning fall color, the Liquidambar s. 'Slender Silhouette' is a valuable addition to any landscape, offering both beauty and functionality.
