Sweet Gum seed pods are the fruit of the Sweet Gum Tree, they dry on the tree leaving behind a spiky ball that contains the seeds. They're also known as 'gumballs' or 'spike balls'.
They have a unique texture with their spikiness and offer a visual difference when added to potpourri or when added as a decoration to terrariums.
These are in their natural brown colour (non-dyed). and range in pod size to between 2.5cm - 3cm. Most have stems.
Some ideas for what they can be used for:
- Decoration in potpourri
- Decoration in terrarium
- Added to wreaths
