The sweet gum name is new to me, though. <BR/><BR/>And as I sit here looking out the window at the front yard, where a liquid amber is planted in the strip by the roadside, I see hundreds of those little balls scattered across the street, the sidewalk, and my front lawn! On my block, the city has planted many of them in that parkway strip. Until a few days ago, all the balls were still on the trees. Now they are falling. <BR/><BR/>It's an inconvenience, but I do love the way they look, and the colorful leaves in the fall are gorgeous.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-41409775827236951832008-02-01T13:20:00.000-08:002008-02-01T13:20:00.000-08:00I just realized I missed yesterday's post!

I loved those strange balls/pods and brilliant fall color. I miss that tree. We don't have them Norway either, at least not that I've seen or am aware of. Thanks for sharing!
