Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Gum Ball’

Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Gumball’ is a compact, deciduous tree valued for its neat, rounded habit and outstanding autumn colour. Unlike the species, it remains small and well behaved, making it ideal for gardens, patios and urban spaces. Fresh green, star-shaped leaves emerge in spring, creating a dense canopy through summer, before turning rich shades of yellow, orange, red and purple in autumn. Slow growing and naturally forming a tidy, ball-shaped crown, it requires minimal pruning. Best grown in moist but well-drained soil in full sun, ‘Gumball’ brings reliable structure and seasonal interest to smaller gardens.
