Black Gum/Tupelo Gum/Pepperidge

Black Gum/Tupelo Gum/Pepperidge - Nyssa sylvatica – is a member of the Gum (Nyssaceae) family. It has perhaps the most striking fall color of any native or non-native tree we can plant in the southeast, and the flowers of Nyssa ogeche are the source of the famously delicious Tupelo honey.
