Liquidamber
styraciflua 'Burgundy' * American Gum |
| Liquidamber trees put on a most reliable
show of Fall Color in Southern California. The
variety burgundy is an narrowly upright tree. The leaves turn a dark shade of red.
All Liquidambar's have some drawbacks in the landscape that should be planned for. Their
roots are notorious about lifting patios, walks, and foundations.
They drop spiny round fruit
that are difficult to walk on or clean out of a lawn. But there are no
better trees for providing consistently beautiful fall color in Southern
California. I prefer to plant Liquidambar trees in background areas where their
leaves and seedpods can fall and not bother anybody. They are very
successful in near boggy situations, and in some areas have become a
pest..
