Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Palo Alto’

One of the very finest forms of the American Sweet Gum, with its maple-like leaves turning a bright, long lasting, scarlet and orange in autumn, on an upright well proportioned crown. Will make a medium sized tree eventually. Very hardy and tolerant, but not for shallow chalk soils, though perfectly happy on thin Cotswold limestone near here. Autumn colour is better if sited in full sun.
