About The Festival Sweet Gum Tree

Easy to care for native tree with beautiful, fall colors!

The Festival Sweet Gum tree is an excellent landscape choice for modern yards. This beautiful tree has a narrow upright growth habit making it a great option to line your driveway or to provide shade in smaller yards. Inconspicuous flowering of yellow-green and spiny seed gum balls start showing in spring.

This cultivar of Festival Sweetgum grows in a narrow pyramid to a height of probably 60 feet but supposedly spreads only to about 20 feet. This tree boasts a perfectly straight trunk and interesting, corky ridges that run all along the bark. But its most outstanding feature is the spectacular fall color. Glossy, star shaped green leaves turn red, yellow or orange in early fall.
