Wildfire Black Gum Nyssa sylvatica

Why Choose a Wildfire Black Gum? The Wildfire Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica 'Wildfire') is a stunning native tree cultivar known for its vibrant foliage and ecological benefits. Here are compelling reasons to plant one: Striking Multi-Season Color: New spring growth emerges in brilliant red, matures to glossy dark green in summer, and transforms into a fiery display of red, orange, and purple in fall. Native and Wildlife-Friendly: As a cultivar of a North American native, it attracts pollinators like bees with its nectar-rich flowers and provides dark blue berries for birds and wildlife. Versatile Size: Grows to 30-50 feet tall and 20-30 feet wide, making it suitable for small yards, as a shade tree, or in woodland gardens. Hardy and Adaptable: Tolerates a range of soil conditions, including wet and dry sites, and is relatively low-maintenance once established. Unique Form: Its pyramidal shape when young matures into a rounded crown, adding structural beauty to landscapes. Eco
