Got any Liquidambar styraciflua in the area?


Not that I know of, but it's possible, even though the plant's official
range ends 300 miles south of here.

I have noticed that "aromatic foliage" is a quality of this plant. I
forgot to mention, but my "weed" emits a pleasant lime-like aroma when I
destroy the sprouts. I also see "chlorosis" mentioned as one of the
potential diseases - some of the sprouts (5% or so) end up dying from it
before I can get to them.
