Black Gum
Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica), also known as Black Tupelo or Sour Gum, is a native North American tree celebrated for its stunning autumn foliage, which shifts through vibrant hues of red, orange, yellow, and purple. Its small, bluish-black fruits are a valuable food source for birds and other wildlife, adding to its ecological importance. With its pleasing shape and ornamental value, Black Gum is a popular choice for landscaping. It is adaptable to various soil types and thrives in both wet and well-drained soils, making it a versatile addition to gardens, parks, and natural areas. Its strong, hard wood is also valued in furniture and veneer production.
