Formosan Gum (Liquidambar Formosana) 20+ seeds

Formosa Sweetgum has a wide, pyramidal shape when young but eventually grows to a rounded or irregular form, reaching 40 to 60 feet in height with a 35 to 45-foot spread. Young specimens may vary in form and be somewhat irregular.
The large, three-lobed leaves, purplish-red when young, are dark green through the growing season and in fall turn a beautiful yellow-red color in the south or red in the north. Branches are covered with characteristic corky projections. Formosa Sweetgum makes a nice park, campus or residential shade tree for large properties.
Be careful when locating Formosa Sweetgum as a street tree since its large, aggressive roots may eventually lift curbs and sidewalks. Plant trees 8 to 10 feet or more away.
