Nyssa Sylvatica Tupelo - 14cm

Nyssa sylvatica, commonly known as black gum or tupelo, is a deciduous ornamental tree valued for its attractive branching, glossy green foliage and vivid autumn colour. It makes an excellent feature tree in temperate gardens where there is room for a long-lived specimen to develop, and the seasonal foliage can become a major garden highlight. The tree has a naturally elegant form rather than a dense clipped appearance. It prefers reliable moisture while establishing and is particularly useful in landscapes that can provide a deeper, moisture-retentive but still reasonably drained soil profile.
