Sweet Gum Tree Seedlings
Liquidambar Styraciflua is a deciduous tree native to the southeastern region of the United States. It is a water-loving species that will do best in a full-sun location in any moist location within USDA plant hardiness zones 5 through 9.
The expression Sweet Gum Tree comes from the appearance of the fruit that your sweet gum tree seedlings will produce once it hits maturity. The tree forms one- to three-inch brown seed pods that are round like a gumball. The pods form in the fall and remain on the branches, dropping randomly during the winter. Although they're not a human food source, winter birds will find them especially helpful in surviving the winter cold.
The Benefits of Growing Sweet Gum Tree Seedlings
Here are three beneficial reasons you might choose sweet gum seedlings for your landscaping projects:
- Conservation and reforestation of wetlands: These trees are some of the best species for restoring wooded areas in some of the most challenging environments: wet, hot, humid, muddy, or clay. This tree is a marshland native and will outperform many other species when faced with this habitat.
- Preventing soil erosion: Soil erosion often stems from compacted soil, which causes too-fast water runoff and wears away the top layer of the earth. Sweet gum seedlings' roots have a habit of sprawling and growing shallower than many others. Doing so loosens the soil, allowing water to penetrate quickly instead of washing over the soil.
- Drought resistance: Although sweet gum tree seedlings are fond of high moisture settings, they can also withstand short-term dry conditions. During a dry spell, they will absorb underground moisture.
