Blackgum
Nyssa sylvatica
Size: 3-gallon
The Blackgum is a stunning addition to any garden, celebrated for its vibrant fall color and unique, pyramidal shape. Typically reaching heights of 30-50 feet, this tree features glossy, dark green leaves that transform into brilliant shades of red, orange, and purple in the autumn, creating a spectacular display. In spring, it produces small, inconspicuous flowers that give way to attractive blue-black berries, which are enjoyed by wildlife. Thriving in a variety of soil types, including wet and dry conditions, the Blackgum adapts well to both full sun and partial shade. Its low-maintenance nature and striking seasonal color make it an excellent choice for enhancing the beauty and character of your landscape.
