Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip: 

Plant American Sweetgum where it has room to rise and spread. It shines as a focal point in wide lawns, parks, open yards, and large planting beds that need bold structure. Its strong vertical form and starry leaves bring clarity and shape to any design. Use it to create long avenues, shade expansive outdoor spaces, or simply enjoy it as a singular specimen that dazzles year after year. The dramatic fall color ensures this tree becomes the highlight of the landscape each autumn.
