Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Burgundy’ is a magnificent discovery for any garden striving for year-round aesthetic allure. More commonly referred to as the Burgundy American Sweet Gum, this robust selection is esteemed for its strikingly glossy, star-shaped foliage that steadily transitions from a verdant summer green to a splendid spectrum of reds and burgundies as autumn takes hold. Emerging as a pyramidal wonder when young, it gracefully matures to a generously proportioned height of 60-75 feet with a spread of 25-50 feet, making it a commanding presence in any landscape arrangement. Unlike many other trees, this versatile star extends its appeal beyond autumn - the spiky spherical fruits and attractively textured bark create an element of curiosity throughout all seasons. Hardy and undemanding, the Burgundy American Sweet Gum thrives in full sun and in a variety of soil types while also delivering the practicality of moderate water usage. As nature's own work of art, this tree is not just a plant, but an investment in creating lasting beauty in your landscape.
