It doesn't grow in New England or the interior west, so the one at the edge of our carport has been a novelty. Several large branches have come down since we've lived here and J. has pruned to remove splintered limbs. The tree now has a lop-sided shape, but the autumn color is beautiful. And the cats like to roll the gum balls around the yard.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493398068080107368.post-71396021242043131182012-08-25T10:46:18.456-07:002012-08-25T10:46:18.456-07:00such a beautiful tree, i hope that it can be nurse...such a beautiful tree, i hope that it can be nursed back to healthCrafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493398068080107368.post-80666212066666176642012-08-24T12:54:37.250-07:002012-08-24T12:54:37.250-07:00What a dreadful shame.

My mother had one planted near her driveway and I was always annoyed by the seedpods that fell - spiny little buggers.<br /><br />I love that you all call them Liquidamber.

I do hope a good tree surgeon can save at least some of it so that it can regenerate. Trees are almost like people, aren't they?

We never found out what it was, but the sweetgum tree across the street died too. I really missed the fall colors.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314254638454546970noreply@blogger.com
