Bonsai American Sweetgum Liquidambar Styraciflua Indoor Tropical Houseplant Seeds - 10 Rare Seeds

Liquidambar is a deciduous tree with leaves that turn splendid yellow, various shades of orange, burgundy purple and many different shades of red in the autumn. It is an attractive bonsai tree whether it has green leaves, coloured leaves or no leaves. Liquidambar will produce reliable fall colours in warm climates too. Liquidambar has been growing on earth since before the last ice age. Today, it is considered a living fossil with only four species left and limited range. They produce leaves from shoots in a spray pattern unlike other deciduous trees.
