I've got to find a place in my yard for this. This is gorgeous. A black gum or nyssa sylvatica, it provides a wonderful kaleidoscope of fall colors. Look, you've got red, orange, burgundy, I see wine colors in here. I mean, this is incredible, and the gloss on the leaves.
Black gum needs an acid soil.
They are quite finicky on that. And they tend to be hard to transplant. And unfortunately, this tree is hard to find in Wisconsin nurseries. However, if you do find it and you have the right location, look what you can have. Well it also has, in addition to this leaf color, it has got blue-black berries, which the birds go absolutely nuts over.
