Are Falling branches a problem with liquid amber trees?

Yes, falling branches can be a problem with Liquidambar trees (sweetgum), especially during storms or high winds. These trees are known for their brittle wood, which can lead to branch breakage. Regular maintenance, such as pruning and monitoring for disease, can help mitigate this risk and promote a healthier tree structure. It's important to plant them in appropriate locations to minimize hazards to people or property.
