  • Few trees can rival sweetgums when it comes to autumn colour, and ‘Slender Silhouette’ is no exception. With its striking fastigiate (upright) habit, the fiery hues this tree takes on later in the year creates the impression of a roaring tongue of flame, shooting upwards into the sky.
  • The leaves themselves are maple-like in appearance, typically boasting five deep lobes and arranged in an alternate (rather than opposite) pattern. They start out a rich emerald green before adopting the orange, red and purple shades that make it so impactful.
  • Alongside the dramatic foliage, the tree also produces highly-ornamental spiny fruits, often referred to as gum balls.
  • Sweetgums derive their name from the aromatic, sticky resin produced by the trees when wounded. This gum was used as a topical salve by the Aztecs many thousands of years ago, to help treat skin infections, while Native Americans used it as a treatment for coughs, dysentery and various other ailments.
  • A deserving recipient of the RHS’s Award of Garden Merit, an accolade bestowed upon those plants proven to perform particularly well in British gardens.
