Rivaling the best Japanese maples, award-winning Liquidambar styraciflua 'Worplesdon' (Sweet Gum) is a magnificent, deciduous tree adorned with a straight trunk and a broadly conical crown at maturity. Its foliage of large, star-shaped, deeply lobed, glossy green leaves turns fiery red, orange, and yellow in fall before falling, revealing the attractive branching pattern, furrowed bark, and corky wings on twigs.
