Liquidambar styraciflua Pleached Panel – Striking Seasonal Screening (200cm x 130cm)
Liquidambar styraciflua, commonly known as sweet gum, in a pleached panel form is a stunning way to introduce seasonal colour, architectural structure, and natural screening into your garden. With its neatly trained horizontal framework and vibrant, star-shaped foliage, this pleached tree offers both practical privacy and ornamental beauty in one elegant package.
Standing at 200cm high x 130cm wide, these pleached panels are ideal for creating living screens above walls and fences, dividing garden spaces, or adding vertical interest without taking up too much ground space. The lush, green summer foliage transforms into a spectacular display of fiery red, orange, and purple in autumn, making Liquidambar one of the most dramatic deciduous trees for seasonal impact.
Tolerant, hardy, and low-maintenance once established, Liquidambar styraciflua thrives in most well-drained soils and suits a variety of garden styles — from contemporary courtyards to traditional landscapes. Its strong structure and vivid colour make it a standout choice for pleached avenues, privacy screens, and formal planting schemes.
