Sweetgum's fall color



Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) is one of the last trees to show fall color. The fall colors are brilliant. A sweetgum tree typically shows a wide range from orange to yellow to red to purple. Often more purple than this one shows here. When all the other trees are bare, the sweetgum stands out far in the distance.
