Nyssa sylvatica, commonly known as Tupelo, is a deciduous tree with unique characteristics. It showcases a pyramidal or oval crown and glossy, dark green leaves that turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and purple in autumn, offering year-round visual interest. In spring, inconspicuous greenish flowers appear, which are followed by small, blue-black fruits that attract wildlife. Tulepo can make a substantial addition to Australian landscapes with its stunning autumn foliage and ecological value.
