Liquidambar acalycina 'Burgundy Flush' - Chinese sweetgum. Origin: Central and Southern China. A good growing variety that develops a nice cone-shape. Height 25 m. The leaves are 3-lobed. Green flowers in spring. The new leaves are beautiful upon emergence: dark green on top and slightly paler towards the petiole, later turning orange to purplish-red. Close resemblance to Liquidambar formosana, but formosana has very short 4 cm long petioles, compared to the acalycina species, which has 8 cm long petioles.
