Liquidambar, Liquidambar styraciflua
North America
-
September, October
Native to North America, the Liquidambar is a deciduous tree from the Altingiaceae family. It is an excellent choice for large gardens and parks, where it can reach its full potential and display its spectacular autumn foliage. Besides its ornamental value, this tree provides shade and creates an attractive landscape year-round. In summer, its leaves can resemble those of maples due to similar shape. In autumn, its vibrant foliage creates a striking display. The tree produces a resin from the bark when cut, which can be chewed as a natural gum and was traditionally used by Native Americans to treat coughs, gum diseases, and more. Its hard wood is suitable for furniture, flooring, and other applications.

The fruits are spiny balls that ripen in early autumn but remain on the tree throughout winter. Each fruit is about 3–4 cm in diameter and contains numerous capsules, with one or two seeds per capsule. While they produce many seeds, germination rates are relatively low.

Resistant to urban pollution and cold temperatures down to -30°C. Prefers sunny locations and does not tolerate deep shade.
You can purchase seedlings of Liquidambar 3-year at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
