A tree that builds towards a strong autumn display
The Sweetgum tree; Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Worplesdon’ is chosen for the colour it brings later in the year. Through spring and summer it settles quietly into the garden, before shifting into deep reds, oranges and purples as autumn arrives.
It is a tree that rewards patience. One that becomes more noticeable as the seasons move on.
Who this tree is for
This suits gardens where there is space for a tree to develop over time. It works well as a feature tree in lawns or open areas, where its autumn colour can be seen clearly.
It is often chosen by those who want to mark the changing of the seasons more visibly, bringing a stronger sense of contrast into the garden.
Seasonal change with a clear highlight
In spring, fresh green leaves emerge in a distinctive, star-shaped form. Through summer, the tree provides a steady green canopy.
As autumn approaches, the foliage begins to shift, gradually deepening into a mix of red, orange and purple tones before falling, leaving a clean structure through winter.
