Festival Sweetgum Colorful, Columnar Shade Tree
- Beautiful Fall Colors
- Perfect Accent Tree
- Stays Narrow for Modern Yards
- Easy Care Native
The name says it all, this beautiful shade tree delivers a festival of fall colors. A highly regarded Liquidambar selection, Festival (Liquidambar styraciflua \’Festival) is both tall and very narrow. This makes it ideal to line a driveway or to provide shade from the hot afternoon sun in a smaller yard, or side yard.
This tree boasts a perfectly straight trunk and interesting, corky ridges that run all along the bark. But its most outstanding feature is the spectacular early fall color.
The Festival Liquidambar’s beautiful glossy star-shaped leaves turn a mix of oranges, reds and yellows with hints of purple in the fall. The color comes on slowly, so the progression is an ever-changing display of fall color that lasts well over a month.
This fall color is particularly appreciated in the milder climates, where dazzling fall color is not as common. Use this fabulous improved native variety in your warm weather yard but be prepared! You’ll have to host a Block Party every year to celebrate it’s beautiful fall leaves.
