Sweet Gum Seedlings
Sweet Gum Seedlings are young trees of the sweet gum species (Liquidambar styraciflua), typically grown from seeds. They display the tree's characteristic star-shaped leaves and potential for producing spiky, brown seed balls as they mature.
These trees may extend up to 150 feet tall at their full height. Thankfully, they usually only reach around 50 to 70 feet tall. Famous for their hardiness and long-lasting leaves, these lovely trees are popular among gardeners because of their gorgeous fall foliage.
Sweet Gum Seedlings Is A Gorgeous Addition to Your Garden
Sweet Gum Seedlings can live up to 400 years. This means that many generations of your family can live in the shade of the tree you plant. In a garden, it is usually grown as a shade tree or lawn tree at a larger home or property. Thanks to its fast growth, it doesn’t take long for nursery plants and seeds to grow into large trees.
Unlike residential properties, you will often see this plant at commercial centers. College campuses and parks love to plant these tall trees. The wood is prized as lumber outside of landscapes because of its stunning veneer. You can easily see why if you look closely at the lovely brown tones in the bark.

Because it is native to the United States, many people plant this tree in their native plant gardens. Its height makes it better suited for a spacious lawn or yard. The tree produces a gum resin that looks like turpentine during the growing season.
The tree's fruit resembles tiny, spiny balls. Because of this, the seeds are frequently called gumballs. Meanwhile, this plant's unique twigs have corky growths known as wings.
Sweet Gum Seedlings Foliage Is Stunning During the Fall
