An unusual tree in Britain, the Tupelo Tree (Nyssa sylvatica) is native to the Mississippi Basin in the USA.  We have found this tree to grow well in southern Britain, preferring some shelter and a rich, acidic type soil.  Distinguished by its oval, glossy-green leaves, which are a dark green colour above and a bluish-green underneath, it puts on a real autumn colour display, when the leaves are  a rich spectrum of scarlet, orange and yellow.  It is a fairly columnar/upright tree and will reach a final height of 6m (20ft).  The Tupelo Tree is tolerant of some shade.

The Tupelo Tree (Nyssa sylvatica) is supplied by us at a height of 1.0 metre in a 12 Litre container for year round planting and better results than from bare-root stock.
