This fastigiate tree grows quickly to form a tall, strikingly narrow column. One of the tightest and narrowest trees available, it is easier to grow than most. Those grown as hedges quickly become effective visual screens, while single specimens mature to become landscape exclamation points.

Notes​

• Plant it as a focal point in the front or as a one-of-a-kind screen along property borders, walkways, streets, and beyond. No matter where this Sweetgum grows, it stands out, all while resisting deer, urban pollution, and drought. It can even thrive in coastal environments with moist soil or salty air.
• As it matures, it will maintain its erect, uniform, columnar form, growing upwards with the top of the tree about the same width as near the bottom. It will grow to a height of 50 to 60 feet and a width of 5 to 6 feet. The bark is deeply furrowed as the tree ages. The deciduous leaves are star-shaped, and the tree produces fruits that are rounded prickly, woody capsules. Initially, they seem fruitless, but gradually they begin to produce a few fruits.
