Where to Site Your Liquidambar styraciflua Pleached Standard
The Liquidambar styraciflua Pleached Standard thrives in a variety of conditions but performs best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil to promote optimal growth and to avoid waterlogging, which can adversely affect the roots. Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry spells, to keep the foliage lush and vibrant. This pleached standard is perfect for creating focal points, enhancing garden designs, or providing vertical interest in various garden settings.
Growth and Pruning
Typically reaching a height of about 6-8 feet, the Liquidambar styraciflua Pleached Standard maintains its elegant form with regular pruning. To preserve its neat appearance, trim any weak, dead, or protruding branches and ensure the canopy retains its defined, structured shape. Conduct a thorough trim in late winter or early spring, with occasional touch-ups throughout the growing season to keep the standard in top condition.
