Blackgum, Wildfire

*Specimen Tree Temporarily Unavailable*

Here we have the Wildfire Blackgum, or Nyssa sylvatica 'Wildfire'. This is a deciduous tree admired for its vibrant seasonal color and strong form. It grows to a mature height of 40 to 50 feet and spreads 20 to 25 feet wide, forming a broadly pyramidal to oval shape with a strong central leader. One of its most striking features is the deep red flush of new growth in spring, which stands out vividly against the landscape. As autumn approaches, the foliage shifts again, transforming into a bright red display that adds bold color to fall scenery. This tree offers both structural elegance and seasonal beauty, making it a vibrant tree in any forest or landscape.
