‘Thea’ Liquidambar Tree

‘Thea’ Liquidambar Tree

• Thea is a beautifully shaped Sweetgum tree known for its spectacular autumn colours
• Shining green maple-like summer leaves transform to shades of scarlet, crimson and orange in autumn, with clusters of bristly gum balls remaining on the tree throughout the winter
• RHS Plants for Pollinators designated – provides nectar and pollen for bees and other pollinating insects
• A striking specimen tree for a large open space, providing year-round interest
• Thea’s neat pyramidal habit makes pruning easier – generally a low maintenance tree, it has excellent pest and disease resistance
• Sweetgum trees have attractive fissured bark that develops deep ridges as the tree matures. The name ‘Sweetgum’ comes from the sticky, sweetly fragrant resin they produce if cut. 
• Grows up to 20m but can be pruned to fit any garden
• Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
• Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
• Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
