Sweetgum, Liquidambar styraciflua, is a gorgeous tree, native to North America. It bears attractive, cork-like bark and maple-like leaves which take on glorious and long-lasting autumn colours. It can reach an eventual height of 25m, so is best suited to large gardens.
Liquidambar styraciflua 'Burgundy' is a rare cultivar, which develops autumn colour much later in the year than other sweet gums, and retains its red, orange and yellow leaves for much longer, sometimes to Christmas.
For best results grow Liquidambar styraciflua 'Burgundy' in rich, damp soil in full sun.
