Gum Ball sweetgum
Family:
Hamamelidaceae (witch-hazel family)
Distribution:
Species native from e. United States to Central America

USDA Zone 5

Deciduous tree
Comments:
A shrubby, fruitless selection of this normally large-growing, native tree. The star-like, glossy green leaves retain their summer color late into fall, and if early frosts don't take them off, multi-colors can be produced. Old plants attain 10-12' high and wide.
