Liquidambar formosana, commonly known as the Chinese Sweet Gum, is a deciduous tree prized for its stunning autumn foliage.
It typically grows in an upright, pyramidal shape when young, eventually developing a more rounded crown as it matures.
The leaves are palmately lobed and resemble maple leaves, starting light green then maturing to turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow in the fall, making it a beautiful addition to large domestic gardens, parklands and streetscapes.
