Description
Slender Silhouette Sweet Gum is a striking columnar tree that thrives in Massachusetts, offering vibrant fall color in a compact, vertical form. Its forest green, star-shaped leaves turn brilliant shades of orange, yellow, and red in autumn, adding seasonal interest. While the spiny fruit may require occasional clean-up, this narrow variety is perfect for small spaces, property borders, or as a focal point in any landscape.
With its rigidly upright growth habit, Slender Silhouette Sweet Gum brings height and structure without taking up excessive space. Its narrow profile makes it an excellent choice for urban gardens, driveways, or as an accent tree. Thriving in well-drained soil, this deciduous tree is an elegant and space-saving option for Massachusetts landscapes.
Our trees are sold by height (younger trees) or by caliper (more mature trees), ensuring you find the perfect size for your landscape needs. This tree is available by trunk caliper, at 1.75-2 in. size, for a more mature, developed option.
Each plant comes with the roots balled & burlapped. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
