Black Gum Tree [Nyssa sylvatica]

Black Gum trees prefer acidic soil and are often found growing in swampy areas. Black gums have asymmetrical branch structure and tower above most trees, reaching 80-90' at maturity. Usually, the Black Gum Tree will be one of the first to show color change in early Fall. The red leaves of the Black Gum are thin and translucent in autumn, giving the tree a beautiful glow in the sunlight.
