This improved Liquidambar features a narrow, upright form with fastigiate branching that keeps it tidy and compact, making it an excellent choice for streets, screening, and smaller spaces. Dark green foliage provides a lush summer display before turning brilliant shades of red, yellow, and orange in fall. At 25% shorter than ‘Slender Silhouette’, it offers a more manageable size without sacrificing its striking columnar form. Developed by the JC Raulston Arboretum at NC State University.
