Slender Silhouette Liquidambar Trees

'Slender Silhouette Liquidambar' Ornamental Trees Delivered in Large Sizes

Liquidambar Slender Silhouette is the go-to tree for any gardener looking for a tall slender tree that performs the same function as Italian Cypress. Most liquidambars are big trees when mature. Slender Silhouette is somewhat different. It's fast growing and can reach quite a height - 15-20 metres would be normal. Where it differs from the rest of its family is that it's astonishingly slim. Even fully grown, two adults can make a circle around it holding hands. More appropriate in many settings perhaps than Leylandii.

Its sylph-like figure together with the glorious autumn tints it produces from late August onwards make it the perfect large tree for a small garden. It can be used as a focal point or as a distraction from some tall object in the background. Planted close, 2 or 3 can make an immensely effective screen to hide a blot on the local landscape such as a tower block or, given time, a wind turbine.

Whilst it's deciduous, it carries pleasing maple like leaves from early spring onwards which with its autumn colour and shape make it a most pleasant addition to any garden.
