Liquidambar acalycina is a broadly conical, deciduous tree native to Eastern Asia. Attractive bronze-purple, star-shaped leaves emerge in spring and darken to green as they age in summer. The foliage then turns to yellow in autumn and is usually retained until well into winter. Plant in full sun to produce best autumn colours.
