Liquidamber styracifolia 'Gumball' - Liquidambar

Unlike many larger Liquidambar varieties, ‘Gumball’ offers the same breathtaking autumn colour in a perfectly compact, naturally rounded form. Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Gumball’ is a superb ornamental tree that delivers a spectacular seasonal display, with star-shaped leaves transforming into stunning shades of red, orange, burgundy and gold as the year draws to a close. Grafted onto a clear stem, it forms a dense, symmetrical globe without the need for heavy pruning, creating immediate architectural impact along driveways, in courtyards, or as a striking focal point in lawns and borders.

Slow-growing and easy to manage, ‘Gumball’ thrives in full sun and fertile soil, where its autumn colour develops most intensely. Its tidy habit makes it ideal for smaller plots or contemporary garden designs where structure is essential. Pair it with ornamental grasses such as Miscanthus, underplant with spring bulbs for early interest, or combine with evergreen shrubs to maintain a year-round presence. Hardy and reliably colourful, this compact Liquidambar brings dramatic seasonal flair without demanding generous space or constant attention.

A 50-60cm clear stem and head of branches, with an overall height of 100-110cm.

Supplied in an approx 10 litre containers.
