Nyssa sylvatica is a medium-sized, slow-growing, deciduous tree with elegant, horizontal branches forming rounded to pyramidal crown. Its glossy, dark green leaves turn beautiful orange, scarlet and purple in autumn. Flowers are inconspicuous, small, greenish, and grow in clusters on female plants, and in dense flower-heads on male plants. Oval, long fruits appear in autumn and are dark blue when they mature. Nyssa sylvatica is an adaptable tree. It grows well in various conditions, but prefers moist, acidic soil, in full sun to partial shade. It tolerates poorly-drained soils and standing water, but it can also withstand some drought and dry soils. It needs to be sheltered form harsh, drying winds. It doesn’t suffer from any serious insect or disease problems. Low maintenance plant. Nyssa sylvatica, with its spectacular autumn foliage, is perfect as a specimen plant in informal, cottage, urban, and woodland gardens. Great near ponds and streams and for foundation planting. Suitable for streets and parks.
