Liquidambar styraciflua 'Moraine' resembles the species but grows more slowly and thus remains smaller and narrower. 'Moraine' is eminently suitable as an avenue and street tree because of the regular, slim, pyramidal shape of its crown. Height 10 - 12 m. Up to 6 m broad. Corky wings appear only on older branches. The 5-lobed (sometimes 7-lobed) leaves are larger than those of the species. The leaves are glossy green in the summer, making 'Moraine' easy to distinguish from seedlings. The autumn colour is yellow to reddish-violet. Winter hardiness zone: 5b
