Black Gum
(Nyss asylvatica)

gum is easily identified, because It
is one of the few broad-leaved trees
with a central axis. You are IA
miliar with this In the evergreen
plan only.
In old age the black gum looks
its many years and tells story Of
winds, storm buffeting, droughts, in
sect attacks and general debility.
The tree is subject to wood-destroy-
ing fungi, reducing 1t to dust, and
the trunk finally tumbles to the wet
soil, where it is lost to sight in a
short time under the debris of
leaves and dead wood so plentiful
in this spot.
The sound wood of the young
trees is made into pulleys, mauls,
rollers, hubs and woodenware. It is
a handsome tree for landscaping
the lowlands of an estate.

"Tupelo" seems to be a much
more attractive name for this beau
tiful tree, but 1t has been given the
name black or sour gum and by this
name it is known to most lumber
men. From Maine to Florida, west
to Southern Ontario, Michigan.
Missouri and Texas, the swamps,
ponds. rivers and low. damp spots
are the chosen locations in which
to seek this tree.
It is of medium size or variable
shape. It reaches height of so to
100 feet, and has short, rigid, rather
twiggy branches. The bark on the
trunk is rough and a dark gray
color, the branches are brown and
the twigs green to orange color,
more often than not, also downy.
The flowers arrive In May after
