Katie Price on Jul 09, 2014Sweet gums are prolific seeders. Their seedlings will pop up everywhere and grow in hidden places (like under your azaleas). I personally dislike sweet gum trees in part for that annoying habit. I hope yours isn't too big to pull out by the roots. If you just cut it, it will continue to sprout from now to eternity. (another annoying habit of sweet gums) And then there are the sticker-balls..., but don't get me started!Helpful Reply

Katie Price on Jul 10, 2014Google (or Bing or Yahoo, etc.) images of Sweet Gum trees and you will see that there are subtle variations of leaf shapes. Basically they are five-lobed, usually pointed, leaves. In the photo of two leaves above, the one on the right looks to me more like a sugar maple (like on the Canadian flag).Helpful Reply
