Tupelo Tree Florida Native

The Tupelo tree (Nyssa sylvatica), also known as Black Gum or Sour Gum, is a deciduous tree native to eastern North America. It typically grows 30-50 feet tall with a pyramidal shape when young, becoming more irregular with age. The tree features glossy, dark green leaves that turn vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red in the fall. Small, inconspicuous flowers appear in late spring, followed by bluish-black fruits that attract wildlife. Tupelo trees thrive in moist, well-drained soils and are often found in wetlands and along streams. They are valued for their striking fall foliage and ecological benefits.
