No. Those round, woody spheres that you see falling off a sweet gum are a type of fruit called a capsule and are filled with seeds. Sweet gums are angiosperms and have flowers, not cones.
Birds peck holes in sweet gum trees to feed on the sap that flows out. The sap provides a good source of nutrition and energy for the birds. Additionally, the sweet gum tree sap may attract insects, providing the birds with an additional food source.

Conifers and ginkgo trees are both seed-producing plants that reproduce via cones or seeds. They are both gymnosperms, meaning their seeds are not enclosed within an ovary. Additionally, both conifers and ginkgo trees are known for their distinctive and often evergreen foliage.
They are often called coniferous.
Sweet gum trees are not considered ideal for firewood as they tend to produce a lot of ash and can be difficult to split. Additionally, the wood may not burn as efficiently or cleanly as other hardwoods, so it is not typically sought after for firewood. There are better options available for firewood that are easier to split and provide more heat.
Yes. The pioneers scraped the sap from the bark and used it as chewing gum
Conifers are trees.

Yes, sweet gum trees produce seeds. They form in spiky, round seed pods that typically mature in the fall. Each pod contains several winged seeds, which are dispersed by the wind when the pods break apart. These seeds play a crucial role in the reproduction and spread of sweet gum trees.
The sweet gum tree blooms in the spring time. Its bloom colors are green and yellow. This tree can grow to a height that is between 50 to 75 feet.
Chewing sweet gum resin from trees or chicle rubber from chicle trees predates recorded history, but the first person to industrialize the process with flavored gum base was probably William Wrigley.
Well technically they are called conifers, an example of a conifer is a fir tree.
Typically conifers... cone bearing trees, such as pine trees.
Yes.
trees
Trees that do not drop their leaves in the autumn are called evergreens. Cone bearing trees are called conifers. All conifers are not evergreen and all evergreens are not conifers.
Absolutely not. You must use rhodium nails. That's why non-bearing gum ball trees are so expensive.
