Slender Silhouette Sweet Gum

Slender Silhouette Sweet Gum is a uniquely narrow variety of sweet gum with all the seasonal flair packed into a sleek, upright form. This deciduous tree reaches 40 feet tall but only spreads about 5 feet wide, making it ideal for compact landscapes, tight side yards, or as a bold architectural element. The glossy, star-shaped green leaves turn fiery shades of red, orange, and burgundy in fall, putting on a dramatic show even in limited space. Plus, it produces fewer seed pods than standard varieties, keeping cleanup minimal.
