Give a breif description of a sweetgum?

The sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) is a deciduous tree native to eastern North America, known for its star-shaped leaves that display vibrant fall colors ranging from yellow to purple. It can grow up to 75 feet tall and produces spiky, round seed pods. The tree is valued for its hard, durable wood and is often used in furniture and flooring. Additionally, sweetgum trees have a fragrant resin, historically used for medicinal purposes and in the production of Chewing Gum.
