AMERICAN BLACK TUPELO - A MAGNIFICENT AUTUMN SHOW
GENUS NYSSA SYLVATICA

Nyssa sylvatica, found naturally in eastern and central North America and variously known as the Black Tupelo, Black Gum or Sour Gum, is a deciduous tree growing from 10 to 15 metres in height and about half that in width. It is a beautiful shade tree with a fairly uniform rounded pyramidal habit and an outstanding autumn colour change.

Leaves are alternate, simple and elliptic to slightly obovate in shape with margins that are most commonly entire. The glabrous leaf surface varies from slightly lustrous to highly glossy. Leaf size is commonly about 10 to 12 cm in length and 4 cm in width. The leaf bases are generally rounded but can be cuneate to wedge-shaped. New leaves are slightly reddish purple, turning to a good dark green with maturity and turning very showy in the autumn with a dramatic display of florescent yellow to orange to red or purple colours..

The greenish white flowers are small and rather insignificant and do not merit much attention. They are followed in late summer dark by blue to bluish black oval fruits that are bird attracting..

Its autumn colour alone makes it a highly desired landscape plant, and this is greatly enhanced by its neat shape and clean shiny foliage which remains good looking all season long. The formality of its habit lends it to use as a specimen tree although it can be effectively grown in groves as well. The medium size of the canopy make it quite useful for smaller properties.

An ultimately frost hardy plant in Australian conditions, it prefers deep moist, well-drained, acidic soils in full sun. It takes dry conditions well once established but is not drought resistant. They grow best in Melbourne, Hobart, the mountains, and cool, elevated sites in Adelaide, Perth and Sydney.

Propagation is from seed which should be stratified by placing in plastic bags with moist sand and refrigerated for a minimum of 30 days. Following stratification, seeds germinate under warm and moist conditions in about 3 weeks.

This auction is for 12 seed. Item shipped by ordinary mail upon receipt of clear funds. Postage cost of 60 cents. ***Save 50% postage & handling on additional lots that are combined for shipment. As always our seed is fresh and professionally cleaned to give you the very best germination rate.

All lots are accompanied by propagation/care notes. Feel free to email us with any queries.

Happy bidding.
