Nyssa sylvatica – Black tupelo, Black gum
Cornaceae
Nyssa sylvatica – Black tupelo, Black gum
În mod natural, acest copac crește în locuri mlăștinoase din estul Americii de Nord. Cu toate acestea, poate deveni un copac înalt și în locuri mai puțin umede. Coroana largă piramidală este formată din ramuri care mai târziu cad puternic. Acest lucru formează în cele din urmă o coroană ovoidală largă, aproape rotundă. Lățimea coroanei este de aproximativ 12 m. Ramurile tinere au lenticele rotunjite. Frunzele lucioase sunt ovale sau ovoidale inversate. Au marginile netede, uneori ușor dințate, cu vârful frunzei ascuțit. Culoarea de toamnă este cea care a făcut ca acest arbore să fie atât de popular. Toamna, copacul se împodobește excepțional de frumos în nuanțe de roșu închis, portocaliu și uneori galben. Culoarea depinde de tipul de sol. Creșterea rădăcinilor este profundă, ceea ce face ca arborele să fie dificil de mutat.
