Looks better already.Picked up this "Gumball" Liquidambar in the auction at this past weekends Winter Silhouette show. Grown in a 24" tub, pruned and potted.View attachment 174482 View attachment 174483 View attachment 174484 View attachment 174485 View attachment 174486
I'd take it down even more than your virtual to get a little more movement in the branchesI would have done a lot more cut backs,have you thought about doing that? This tree is still very much in development and would benefit from more taper, least it's what I would do.I might even remove that really thick left branch too. I like the color choice on the pot but maybe a large flat oval would look great too. All in all a great tree!

Kind of reminds me of a smaller version of the tree Ryan worked in the second half of the Mirai live stream last night! Has similar branch structure- potential for a double apex and the branch about halfway down on the right has some kind of funky angles in it that could add interest... if you have a subscription and havent seen it yet, go check that obe out! Great info on deciduous pruning.Picked up this "Gumball" Liquidambar in the auction at this past weekends Winter Silhouette show.

Leaves are a little big for a short tree this thing is much bigger than it looks. That pot is 18" across.I'd take it down more too!
Very nice stock though!
I like!
Looks like the American variety to me? Nice tree though. Sweetgums are among the species that will reliably produce fall color in Southern California every year.Nice! American sweetgum or the Asiatic species?
This trunk is 9" across an inch above the soil
A dwarf version of the American onesNice! American sweetgum or the Asiatic species?
Dyslexia?My bad its 6" across not 9.View attachment 174576
