Liquidambar styraciflua 'Stared' – Liquidambar styraciflua 'Stared'

View prices and availability
Large tree with a narrow pyramidal crown, up to approx. 20 m. Densely branching, even when mature. The grey bark has shallow grooves. The young twigs are light green and have hardly any corky fissures. The leaf is conspicuously star-shaped. This is reinforced by the lobes also having dissected margins, giving the leaf a double-lobed appearance. It turns orange, red, or purplish red, often with yellowish hues. The flowers are fairly inconspicuous and, unlike many other Liquidambar cultivars, purplish red. They are followed by round, spiky capsules that persist in the winter. Good park, avenue or street tree. Prefers fertile, moist soil: cannot tolerate persisting drought.
Good news: the vast majority of our range is immediately available from container stock. A few varieties that are only available as field-grown trees will be delivered from November 2026 onwards. We will let you know in advance per order which trees will arrive when.
