Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica), also called tupelo, is prized as one of the earliest and most reliable trees for brilliant scarlet fall color. It tolerates both wet and dry soils and provides fruit that is an important late-season food source for birds. It blooms in late spring, though the flowers are inconspicuous, and grows best in full sun to part shade with consistently moist soil.
