Description
Wildfire Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica ‘Wildfire’) is a stunning native tree known for its bold red spring foliage, which matures to deep green in summer before transforming into a brilliant scarlet display in fall. With a neat, pyramidal growth habit when young, it adds strong structure and seasonal beauty to the landscape. Its furrowed black bark provides year-round visual interest, even in winter. Thriving in moist, organic, acidic soils, this tree is best suited for naturalized areas and is intolerant of urban pollution.
