Amberbaum - he attracts attention with this autumn coloring!
In the summer everyone who does not know him probably thinks he is not a particularly exceptional specimen. There he stands with his dark green foliage color and moves along with other trees rather into the background. But as soon as autumn approaches, he organizes a veritable fireworks display!
From mid-September until late autumn
As soon as the temperatures go down one level, the foliage of the sweetgum tree feels encouraged to discolour. This is often the case in mid-September, but at the latest at the end of September. The conspicuous autumn coloration can last until November. Under optimal conditions, it lasts for up to 8 weeks.
The colors of the leaves
The lobed leaves, which have presented themselves in the summer of more of their inconspicuous side, color in autumn extremely conspicuous. It is almost hopeless to turn away. The view wanders again and again to Amberbaum ...
The fall foliage covers almost the entire color palette, depending on the variety. Anything that is possible with fall colors can show these leaves. Sometimes it is not just one color per sheet, but a sheet has two different colors that contrast each other (eg, red and yellow).
Common colors of amber trees are yellow, yellow-orange, crimson, black-violet and brown. Different gradations of these tones are generated. Amber trees are one of the most beautiful autumn-colored plants in the garden with this variety of colors and luminosity!
