Nyssa sylvatica, Black tulepo, Black gum. Origin: Eastern North America. Tall, upright tree with a wide, regular crown. In the homeland, it grows up to a height of 20 m. There it is often used for roadside planting, even in paved surfaces, but this is not recommended in Europe. Its natural habitat is moist or even marshy soil. Leaves long, pointy on both sides, deep green. Splendid orange and red autumn foliage. The fruits are egg-shaped and dark blue. Beautiful park tree on fertile, moist soils and in sunny planting locations.
