Description

Cherokee Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Cherokee’): A Seedless Male with Brilliant Fall Color

Cherokee is a virtually seedless male selection of American sweetgum, patented in 1997 by Earl Cully of Illinois. It keeps the glossy star-shaped leaf and strong fall color of the species, but produces little to no gumballs.

On open sites it reaches about 60–75 feet tall and 40–60 feet wide, matching your listing size of 70 × 50. The form is upright and broadly pyramidal in youth, then opens into a full, symmetrical oval crown. Summer foliage is glossy deep green. Fall color is a brilliant mix of yellow, orange, and red that holds late into the season. Mature bark develops the corky ridges typical of sweetgum.

Use Cherokee when you want a broad, seedless shade tree with maximum fall drama. Choose Rotundiloba for rounded leaf lobes and a similar wide habit, or Slender Silhouette for a tight 60 × 6 column.
