Cherokee™ Sweetgum (Liquidambar syraciflua ‘Ward’) is a virtually seedless, northern selection our native sweet gum. It is a vigorous grower with a straight central leader. Narrow in youth, it becomes more rounded with age and eventually develops a medium oval crown.
Summer foliage is a lustrous dark green, with fall color ranging from deep burgundy to red. Corky textured bark lends all-season appeal and creates interest in the landscape in winter. Said to be northern hardy, this cultivar is reported by its introducer, Heritage Trees, Inc., to have withstood temperatures of 28 degrees below zero without damage.
