Sweetgum, Liquidambar styraciflua
The hardened sap, or gum resin, of the Sweetgum can be chewed on like chewing gum! Sweetgum is second only to the oaks in production of hardwood lumber. In the northern portion of its range, Sweetgum is one of the best of all trees in terms of fall color, with its leaves turning yellow, orange, red, and purple.
