Description
Beetlebung (Nyssa sylvatica), also known as black tupelo, is one of the most spectacular native shade trees for year-round beauty and wildlife value. Glossy green leaves give way to breathtaking fall color in shades of scarlet, orange, and deep purple, while its small spring flowers provide an important nectar source for pollinators and bees. Bluish-black fruits feed migrating songbirds and other wildlife through late summer and fall.
Adaptable to wet or dry soils once established, this long-lived native tree is remarkably resilient, low-maintenance, and an exceptional choice for naturalized landscapes, rain gardens, and climate-resilient plantings.
