Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Oakville Highlight’ is a narrow, fastigiate form of sweetgum valued for its upright growth habit and brilliant autumn colour display. Its compact columnar shape makes it an excellent choice for avenues, screening, and gardens where vertical structure is desired without excessive width
In autumn, the foliage transforms into vivid shades of yellow, orange, red, and purple, creating a dramatic seasonal feature. Hardy and adaptable, this variety also shows good tolerance to temporary drought once established, while maintaining the attractive foliage and form of the classic sweetgum tree
