Liquidambar

5935-002 Liquidambar orientalis  Chinese Sweetgum  Cutting grown plant, trunk caliper is 1.0 inches. The nebari spread is about 3 inches. This is a completely trunk finished tree. The existing branches can certainly be used as final branches, but it will bud out all over in the spring for additional choices. There is shari on what will probably be the front and can be seen in the photo. I think this is best used as a feature rather than trying to grow it over since it is such a nice little tree already. It has great nebari potential with 4 great roots on the surface. These would have to be terminated soon and encourage to ramify, but once complete, the nebari would be the real show of this tree. The leaves reduce very nicely and can be as small as one inch or less. Liquidambar can be defoliate mulitple times and disbudded to achieve ramification, although the winter display may be the main attraction once finished. With a few hours work and another growing season, this tree will be worth twice this much.
