tp<m&~&-Q> ST TRI -e> -^P<S§>-s= -O -#|%><«i>- SWEET GUM (Red Gum) (Liquidambar styracif.ua L.) THE sweet gum is a large valuable forest tree. It occurs on rich river bottoms and in swamps subject to frequent overflow, as well as on drier uplands throughout the lower and middle parts of the State. It is usually abundant in second growth on old fields and in cut-over woods. The bark is a light gray, roughened by corky scales, later becoming deeply furrowed. After the second year the twigs often develop 2 to 4 corky projections of the bark, which give them a winged a p - pearance. The simple, al ter nate star - shaped leaf, with its 5 to 7 points or lobes, is 5 to 7 inches across and very aromatic. In the fall its coloring i s brilliant, ranging from pale yellow through orange and red to a deep bronze. The flowers are of two kinds on the same tree, unfolding with the leaves. The fruit at first glance reminds one of the balls of the sycamore, but on closer inspection proves to be a head. It measures an inch or more in diameter and is made up of many capsules with projecting spines. It frequently hangs on the tree by its long swinging stem late into the winter. The wood is heavy, moderately hard, close- grained, and not durable on exposure. The reddish brown heartwood, which suggests the name red gum, is not present to any appreciable extent in logs under 16 inches in diameter. The wood is extensively used for flooring, interior finish, paper pulp and veneers for baskets of all kinds. Veneers of the heartwood are largely used in furniture, sometimes as imitation mahogany or Circassian walnut. This tree should be more widely planted for ornamental use. 57 SWEET GUM Leaf, one-third natural size. Twig, two-thirds natural size.
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

This 1923 “Pocket Manual” was produced by the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey. The 80-page booklet is titled, “Common forest trees of North Carolina: how to know them.” The booklet describes many common trees with hand-drawn illustrations of their leaves and seed pods.
