Liquidambar styraciflua
Star-shaped leaves turn spectacular shades of purple, red, orange, and gold in fall. A standout autumn specimen tree.
Spiky seed pods ("gumballs") can litter lawns — choose fruitless cultivars near walkways. Adapts to many soils.
Foliage is generally non-toxic; the spiky seed pods are a physical hazard (paw injury) rather than a chemical one.
