Nyssa Sylvatica (Black Tupelo Cones) is a distinctive deciduous feature tree valued for its elegant upright form, strong seasonal colour, and refined landscape appeal. When grown or maintained in a cone shape, it creates a formal garden statement ideal for entrances, avenue planting, structured borders, or feature positions where height and symmetry are desired.

This attractive tree is best known for its glossy green foliage that transforms into brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow, and scarlet in autumn. Small greenish-white flowers may appear in late spring, followed by dark blue-black fruit in suitable conditions, adding seasonal interest and wildlife value. Slow-growing and low maintenance once established, Black Tupelo is an excellent choice for customers wanting a hardy ornamental tree with standout autumn colour and a premium structured look.
