Liquidambar styraciflua
American sweetgum

An outstanding combination of colors, the fall coloration range includes red, orange, yellow, purple and sometimes a few green ones mixed in. Some trees have one or two of these colors while other may have a combination of all. In either case, the result is a pure joy to behold!
