A relatively slow growing selection, Liquidambar styraciflua 'Manon' has green leaves with a striking creamy-white margin, turning vivid shades of purple and red before falling in autumn. Gradually develops into a lovely small conical tree.

Best in full sun or light, dappled shade ideally with some shelter from strong winds. Slow growing an not for instant gratification!


  • Position: Full sun or dappled shade.
  • Soil: Moist, fertile soil. Liquidambar styraciflua 'Manon'  will grow well in most areas but will produce its most bright and vivid autumn colour in lime free or acidic soils.
  • Hardiness: Reasonably hardy. Young plants can suffer die back after very severe late spring frosts, but usually recover well. Prefers shelter from strong wind.
  • Rate of Growth: Slow.
  • Habit: Conical, upright shrub in the short term or eventually slender small tree.
    • Height: up to 5 - 6 m (16 - 20 ft).
    • Spread: 2.5 - 3 m (8 - 10 ft).
  • Notes: The autumn colour of individual plants will vary according to weather and in particular the pH of your soil. The best, most vivid colours will occur in lime-free or acid soils. A liberal annual application of flowers of sulphur around the base of a Liquidambar, at a rate of up to 2 oz. per square yard on neutral or slightly alkaline soils will slowly lower the pH and intensify the autumn colour!
