Description
These are gum balls on a sweet gum tree. Fruits of a gum tree are spiky green balls that turn brown with age. They are a little over an inch wide, and dangle on a long stalk. Each ball has prickly points that open to let seeds out. Two winged seeds come from each hole and are mostly spread by the wind.
