American Sweetgum leaf bud

Liquidambar styraciflua

Description:

New leaves emerging from buds on an American Sweetgum. Leaves "come out of the bud plicate, downy, pale green, when full grown are bright green, smooth, shining above, paler beneath." - Wikipedia

Habitat:

Backyard

Notes:

We have such a mild and and short "winter" that there are still colored leaves that remain since fall when these new leaves emerge. The rest of the tree can be seen at: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/705...
