Buy Firehouse® Sweetgum online. Firehouse® Sweetgum features a dominant central leader and strong branch attachment growing at upright angles. This great branching structure and placement adds up to an excellent storm-resistant growth habit. When comparing Firehouse® Sweetgum to other cultivars of the Liquidambar species, it defoliates early and has suffered no ice or snow damage. As to those pesky spiked fruits? Seed production has been extremely light to none!
