Low-maintenance deciduous native shade tree that is fast growing. Brilliant red, orange, yellow fall color on its interesting star shaped leaves.

It does produce the sweetgum balls that people either love or hate but the birds definitely enjoy them! A larval host for some Lepodoptera species including the Imperial Moth and Luna Moth!

Naturally found in moist lowland soils but is tolerant of a wide variety of soils. Grows up to 80 feet tall and 60 feet wide so give it room! As a fast growing tree this species has indeterminate growth which means this tree will be putting shoot growth on as long as conditions are favorable!
