By JOHN GRIBBLE (Editor's note: The fol lowing comments on trees, particularly those adapta ble to street use in Medf ord, have been prepared by John Gribble, well - known re tired forester, and will be cun in a series during the 'tree planting season" here, aow under way.) Sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) is a pyramidal, symmetrical, tall and straight tree, mostly a native of the southeastern states. The red brown, stout branches are son etimes corky-ridged. The pointed buds are shiny red dish - brown and fragrant when crushed. The leaves are somewhat star-shaped, heart shaped at the base, 4 to 7 inch es long and broad. They are 5 to 7 lobed, finely toothed and lustrous, sometimes mis taken for maple or sycamore leaves. Autumn colorings are wonderful brownish- yellow red, scarlet, some, bluish black, and shiny. This must be seen to be appreciated. Two nice specimens of this tree are near the northeast area of the county courthouse yard, and a row of younger trees are south of the court house. Watch them grow! Sparing water in early fall produces more vivid leaf coloring. Trees should be transplanted in the spring and severely pruned, which insures chances of survival. It does best on deep soil, in full sunlight. The sweet gum should be used more where it can be given ample space.
