#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant this gentle giant in full sun with well-drained soil for the best growth possible, including handling salt, alkaline, and clay sites! Burgundy Blush is a fleshy rooted tree that will benefit greatly from having a 3-4 inch layer of mulch over the top of the root zone to help moderate temperature and moisture. Sometimes spelled Sweet Gum, these trees have different names in every region they grow in! Showing off their incredible versatility and adaptability throughout a wide range of conditions. Prune in the spring once you see new growth emerging because, like Maple trees, Sweetgum can bleed sticky sap (which made a chewing gum-like treat back in the day!), and create a mess.
- Easy to Care For In Full Sun
- Moderate to High Moisture
- Drought Tolerant Once Established
- Widely Adaptable In Any Well-Drained Soil
- Minimal Maintenance - Prune Early Spring
