Description
Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Worplesdon’ is a superb ornamental deciduous tree, renowned for its exceptional autumn colour. In autumn, the distinctive star-shaped green leaves turn brilliant shades of yellow, orange, red, and purple, creating one of the most dramatic seasonal displays of any tree.
This cultivar is particularly valued for its reliable colour performance in UK conditions and its strong, upright growth habit. In spring and summer, the fresh green foliage provides attractive structure and shade, while the tree’s neat form makes it suitable for gardens, avenues, and landscape planting.
Hardy and adaptable, ‘Worplesdon’ thrives in a wide range of soils, including heavier ground, and is tolerant of urban conditions. Supplied at 125–150cm tall in a 5-litre pot, this well-established young tree is ready to plant and will quickly establish.
