View prices and availability
În zona în care Liquidambar styraciflua se găsește în mod natural, poate ajunge la o înălțime de 40 de metri, deși în amenajările peisagistice nu crește, de obicei, mai mult de 25-30 de metri. Forma coroanei începe ca o piramidă îngustă cu un trunchi drept care se continuă. Pe măsură ce copacul îmbătrânește, ramurile încep să cedeze, dând coroanei o formă de ou. Trunchiul gri are caneluri adânci. Lăstarii tineri sunt de culoare galben-verzui și se transformă în roșu-brun. Ramurile mai bătrâne dezvoltă benzi groase de plută gri care uneori se desprind. Frunza are cinci (uneori șapte) lobi și o margine zimțată. Are între 8 și 16 cm lungime și între 10 și 20 cm lățime. Culorile intense de toamnă sunt variate: roșu vin cu galben, portocaliu și violet, și tot felul de nuanțe intermediare. Într-un loc umed, frunzele capătă mai mult o nuanță purpurie. După înflorirea discretă, apar fructele de cutie care rămân pe copac până în timpul iernii. Arborele nu rezistă la secetă prelungită. Liquidambar styraciflua este foarte potrivit ca arbore de bulevard datorită trunchiului său aproape mort și drept, care crește până în vârful copacului.
