Sweetgum Height & Color for Tight Spaces
Why Slender Silhouette Sweetgum Trees?
Looking for fast, easy-growing shade that doesn't require a ton of space? Look no further than the Slender Silhouette Sweetgum Tree. Similar to other Sweetgum varieties, the Slender Silhouette reaches a towering mature height of nearly 60 feet...but only gets 6 feet wide.
It lives up to its name, giving you height without taking up a large amount of space. And you get classic Sweetgum shade and color, with green foliage in the warmer months and a kaleidoscope of autumnal tones in the fall, including vibrant orange, red, purple, and yellow.
Plant it as a focal point in the front or as a one-of-a-kind screen along property borders, walkways, streets, and beyond. No matter where it grows, it stands out, all while resisting deer, urban pollution, and drought. It can even thrive in coastal environments with moist soil or salty air!

Love the Slender Sweetgum!
Arrived in beautiful condition, very healthy young trees. The leaves are gorgeous! Planted them the day I got them and so far they’re doing great! My neighbors all want to know what they are.
It survived and is thriving!
Ordered this tree in the Winter of 2024, scared to put it in the ground as everyone feels Zone 9b- Louisiana does get cold. Well I planted it, mulched the roots for protection, covered it, it SNOWED and it survived and is thriving Spring 2025!
Tree is growing well after 1 year
We are enjoying watching our Sweetgum Silhouette grow into a healthy addition to our landscape! No disease, is not bothered by pests, and has almost doubled in size in 1 year. Ordered the 4-5 foot tree, and it is now about 7 feet tall.
Off to a great start…
Looking good and optimistic about its quick out-of-the-box growth. Just battling to keep the deer 🦌 away.
The right tree for the right place
The narrow profile of this tree is perfect for our small-ish back yard. It arrived in spectacular condition even with our high heat. It has hung on to every leaf and is delighted with its new home.
