Cherokee Sweetgum
Cherokee Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua 'Cherokee') is a cultivated variety of the native American Sweetgum tree, appreciated for its unique foliage, attractive form, and outstanding autumn display. This cultivar is prized for its more compact and narrower growth habit compared to the typical American Sweetgum. The leaves of 'Cherokee' are star-shaped and deep green in summer, providing a lovely backdrop throughout the growing season. However, the real spectacle comes in the fall when the leaves turn a brilliant array of colors, ranging from vibrant yellows to oranges, reds, and purples, creating a breathtaking visual display. The 'Cherokee' Sweetgum is known for its adaptability to various soil types and its ability to thrive in a wide range of climates. It is often used as a shade tree in parks, residential landscapes, or along streetscapes to bring a burst of autumn color and year-round beauty.
