Liquidambar styraciflua

The gum ball is certainly taking its time opening into full leaf, but maybe that’s normal? 🤔 #gumball #ajmay #standard #liquidambar-styraciflua #sweetgum

Taken last Thursday, hence the very blue sky! Buds on the #liquidamber #gumball tree #containergarden #standard #ajapril

True blue sky 🤩

Wow! 💙💙💙

Morning everyone, another wet and grey day but this #gumball tree is still holding onto most of its leaves 🍁 If you look in the background, the #nerine is still flowering and the #canna hasn’t given up either! #foliage #autumnal #ajnov22 #foliagefriday

Morning again 😂… that looks amazing, at least it won’t blow over in that pot !!😂

Fabulous colours, wow 🍁🍂🍁

Amazing colours Angela. 🍁🍁

An explosion of colour how fabulous 🍁🍁

Spectacular!

Morning Julie, very true! 😂 @juliesgarden

The colours have been a real delight and far better than anything I had expected. I’m so pleased with this tree 🍁🍁🍁 @pelly @gjones @hkyfvr @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @KOutdoors @lilybee

Gorgeous, super great colour Angela 🧡🧡♥️

Thanks Chris! 🍁🍁 @midnightgardener

Wow! It looks amazing 😍

Finally decided on a “Gum Ball” half standard for my large planter. Not yet planted so sitting low in the planter at the moment. Just need to decide on underplanting. #liquidambar-styraciflua #gumball #liquidambar #foliagefriday #ajnov22

Very nice! 💘😍

Will look great! Try Gunnera 'Jack Frost' as an under plant, should like nice in that pot.

Nice choice

Oh lovely 😊

Thank you so much @ShelleySnyder @hebelover @juliesgarden I’m really pleased with it. I hadn’t come across this one before but it ticks all the boxes in terms of being able to take full sun & cope with what is a quite an exposed aspect. The lovely autumnal colours are a bonus too with maple like leaves 🍁 It needs ericaceous compost, so I shall need to either find some suitable ericaceous loving plants to underplant or sink in small pots around the outside if I go down the normal compost route

Oh, thank you Bob! I’ve just looked up Brunnera Jack Frost. It has beautiful foliage. So pretty 🤩 @bobbyball

@italydiva Hi Angela, glad you like the look of it. Noticed I put Gunnera and not Brunnera, sorry about that!

It was my pleasure! 💘😍

No problem Bob, when I typed in the name it brought up Brunnera….that said, auto-correct really doesn’t like it when I type in Brunnera either! @bobbyball
