AB Arborists concerned with management of undesirable fruit on Liquidambar trees in urban areas can treat the trees at time of flowering with Florel (ethephon) for effective reduction in fruit formation. Atrimmec (dikegulac-sodium) also reduced the number of fruit produced; however, it is not currently labeled for this use. Florel reduced fruit formation by 87.7%; Atrimmec by 57%. Trim-Cut (mefluidide) did not significantly reducefruitformation. Growth regulatortreatments may be justified in certain locations to manage production of undesirable fruit.
