Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Tupelo Tree - Nyssa sylvatica
Few deciduous trees match Nyssa sylvatica for seasonal authority. Its autumn display, scarlet, orange, and deep crimson, ranks among the most intense of any landscape specimen, set against a naturally refined pyramidal form that commands attention year-round.
Why Tupelo
Autumn colour: Among the most vivid and reliable of any deciduous tree; foliage shifts through scarlet, burnt orange, and deep red as temperatures drop.
Architectural form: A naturally balanced pyramidal structure that requires no intervention to maintain its presence.
Glossy summer canopy: Deep green, lustrous foliage delivers a polished appearance across the warmer months.
Exceptional longevity: A tree that matures with character and holds its value across decades.
Avenue-grade consistency: Uniform habit and colouring make it a benchmark choice for formal and large-scale plantings.
Ideal Applications
Formal avenue planting: Consistent spacing delivers a corridor of seasonal colour on estate driveways and boulevard entries.
Specimen feature planting: A single mature tree creates an immediate focal point on open lawns or within structured landscapes.
Shade canopy: Provides meaningful shade without the oppressive density of heavier-canopied species.
Park and estate settings: Scaled for expansive properties where long-term structural impact is the brief.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 8 to 12m
Best Planting Season: Autumn to early spring

Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly for the first two to three years until established, particularly over summer. Apply a thick layer of mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and maintain soil acidity.
