Leaves:<\/strong> Alternate, simple, 4 to 6 inches long and wide, star-shaped, with 5 (occasionally 7) pointed lobes and finely saw-toothed edges; fragrant when crushed; fall color red, purple, orange and gold, often on the same tree<\/p>\n

Fruit and Seeds<\/strong>: 1- to 11\u20442-inch prickly ball, composed of many beak-shaped capsules, green at first but becoming brown and woody; containing small seeds; \u201cgumballs\u201d often hang on the tree through the winter.<\/p>\n

Wildlife use:<\/strong> \u00a0Sweetgum are a pioneer species that can quickly form dense stands in unmanaged fields.\u00a0 Despite its widespread abundance, it sees relatively little use by wildlife, the exceptions being small\u00a0 birds like goldfinch, purple finch, and chickadees.\u00a0 Seeds are also eaten by chipmunks and squirrels.<\/p>\n
