Liquidambar styraciflua 'Slender Silhouette' American Sweetgum

Liquidambar styraciflua 'Slender Silhouette,' commonly known as the Slender Silhouette American Sweetgum, is a unique and striking cultivar of the American Sweetgum tree. Known for its incredibly narrow, columnar form, this tree is a popular choice for gardeners and landscapers looking to add vertical interest and fall color to their landscapes without sacrificing too much space. Description The 'Slender Silhouette' American Sweetgum is a deciduous tree that typically reaches a height of 50 to 60 feet, with an impressively narrow spread of only 4 to 6 feet. This makes it one of the slimmest trees available, ideal for planting in tight spaces where height is desired but width must be limited. The tree's foliage is a deep, glossy green during the growing season, with leaves that are star-shaped, characteristic of the sweetgum species. In the fall, the 'Slender Silhouette' transforms into a brilliant display of autumn colors, with leaves turning shades of yellow, orange, red, and purple.
