American Sweetgum 'Happidaze'

About this plant

Liquidambar styraciflua 'Happidaze' lives up to its name, bringing a cheerful and vibrant presence to any garden. This cultivar of the native American Sweetgum boasts an exceptional display of autumn foliage, transitioning from green to a symphony of oranges, reds, and purples that truly dazzle. Beyond its stunning fall show, 'Happidaze' provides excellent shade with its classic pyramidal to oval form when young, maturing to a more rounded canopy. Its deeply lobed, star-shaped leaves contribute to its elegant aesthetic throughout the growing season, making it a focal point in any landscape plan. As a relatively fast-growing and low-maintenance tree once established, 'Happidaze' is an ideal choice for adding significant vertical interest and seasonal beauty to a wide range of property styles.
