Plant of the week is here! Sweet gum might get a bad reputation due to the spiky seeds, but it's truly a magnificent tree that provides many ecological services. A mature sweet gum makes an excellent climbing tree for the kiddos (and kids at heart). This tree is best suited for moist soil and doesn't tolerate drought or dry soil, so plant accordingly.
