	Liquidambar
		There are so many considerations to be weighed when choosing a tree: its eventual height and spread; its root run; the shade it will cast; its growing requirements; the home it will provide to wildlife.
		But all of these take second place to its beauty, and I know of no one who is not bewitched by the splendour of the American sweet gum, Liquidambar styraciflua.
		The leaves of many trees and shrubs grown for autumn colour change quickly to a single colour; the Liquidambar transforms itself stealthily, a few leaves today, more tomorrow and each a different colour.
