About this plant

Slender Silhouette sweetgum keeps an exceptionally narrow outline while bringing strong red and orange autumn colour.

Its branches build a tightly upright, columnar crown, giving the planting height without a very broad crown.

Best used for

Plant as a vertical accent or in a narrow avenue where space for a spreading crown is limited.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 30–50 cm per year Medium growth
Expected mature size 10–15 m high / 1.5–3 m wide

Expect around 30–50 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 10–15 m in height and 1.5–3 m in width. Allow room for a tightly upright, columnar crown; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply through the first growing seasons and during prolonged dry spells later on. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Remove damaged or crossing branches as needed, avoiding heavy routine pruning.

What you will receive

You will receive a healthy container plant in the selected size. The plant is prepared for delivery and supplied ready for planting.

Natural variation in shape, branching, leaf density and seasonal appearance is normal. Plants may look different depending on the time of year.
