Liquidambar 'Slender Silhouette' is a new introduction from the USA which really lives up to its name with a very slender, upright habit. The deeply lobed dark green leaves first turn yellow then to reddish-purple as the autumn progresses. Small light green flowers are followed by spiky fruits that ripen from green to brown and stay on the tree well into winter.
