Our Liquidambar

"Liquidus" means liquid and "Ambar" means for amber, so Liquidambar is virtually liquid amber (fossil tree resin).
In Germany, only the American amber (Liquidambar styraciflua) is frost-resistant. It can grow to 20-45 meters and become up to 10 meters wide. Especially in the climate change context, resistance to heat and drought predestines Liquidambar to be a tree of towns and streets.
