Nyssa sylvatica Forum™ – Black Gum or Tupelo – 7-Gallon

From Tree Introductions of Georgia, Forum® has a beautifully shaped habit, producing a good central leader and consistent horizontal branching. Typical lustrous green foliage through the Summer.

Pair it with male cultivars Green Gable™, ‘Wildfire’ or ‘Red Splyndor’ to get blue-black fruit in late summer that birds love. Very wet-site tolerant.
