Product details

Nyssa sylvatica, known as Tupelo, is a wonderful tree for autumn foliage with its green summer leaves turning yellow, orange and even red in October / November.

Originating from America, it was introduced in the 1750s but it requires an acid soil in which to thrive so is rarely seen in the UK.

Pyramidal in habit when young, it can develop into a large broad tree at maturity so it is most suited to parkland and only the largest of gardens.

Nyssa sylvatica prefers free draining lime free soils.

Mature height: 12-17m
