    Liquidambar Bonsai Tree Care Guide (Liquidambar Styraciflua)

    Liquidambar is a deciduous tree with leaves that turn splendid yellow, various shades of orange, burgundy purple and many different shades of red in the autumn. It is an attractive bonsai tree whether it has green leaves, colored leaves or no leaves. The American Liquidambar has been cultivated over the years to produce different varieties that have specific leaf colors in the autumn. Asian Liquidambar has not yet been hybridized for this, but the leaves still give a colorful show. Japanese Maples need cold weather to product the fall colors, but Liquidambar will produce reliable fall colors in warm climates too.

    The root systems are very strong, and if a sucker can be removed that is connected to some root, it will grow well as a bonsai. They can also be grown from the seeds that the tree produces in its fruit.

    They easily germinate, so this is the best way to create a group or forest bonsai planting. They can also be bought from a nursery because they are very popular ornamental trees and are often used for landscaping.

    The tree looks broadly conical and produces tiny, yellowish-green flowers in the late spring. The female flowers produce spherical, spiky fruit in clusters.
