Deciduous Bonsai- Liquidambar Bonsai

Deciduous Bonsai- Liquidambar Bonsai The Liquidambar, or sweet gum tree is a living fossil. Liquidambar trees were plentiful on earth until the last ice age, but are now reduced to four species with limited range. The four species are Liquidambar Acalcyna and Liquidambar Formosiana (Chang’s Liquidambar and Chinese Liquidambar, native to China and Southeast Asia and not often seen in the West), and the two species often used for bonsai: Liquidambar Styraciflua (American Sweet Gum, native to the Eastern United States) and Liquidambar Orientalis (Asian Sweet Gum or Turkish Sweet Gum). Both varieties used for bonsai are vigorous growers which will back bud and throw suckers without any encouragement. In fact, the American Liquidambar is so powerful a grower, that there is an instance of one tree destroying a house, after the tree’s main trunk was cut down to the ground. The root system continued to live and send up suckers through the foundation of the house until the house was no longer stable.
