The Black Gum Tree, or Tupelo, is a highlight of fall, producing the most powerful display imaginable. Rich tones of red, purple and orange light up the garden with a power you would not have believed possible, leaving all but a few other trees looking pale and insignificant. The summer leaves are beautiful too, with a rich green color and a glossy surface quite unlike other deciduous shade trees. With a beautiful pyramidal form and a central trunk, this tree is as graceful as it is colorful. The insignificant flowers produce a crop of small blue berries that will attract migrating birds to your garden. - One of the most colorful fall trees in existence - Leaves of scarlet, purple and orange set the garden alight - Striking upright pyramidal form - Glossy leaves in rich green - Grows well even in wet soils You can grow the Black Gum Tree from zones 4 or 5 to zone 9, and it is best to plant it in full sun for the most powerful fall colors.
