Nyssa sylvatica
The ‘water nymph of the forest’. This poetic translation of Nyssa sylvatica lives up to its name, because it is a beautiful species that also does well in more humid locations.
The reason to plant this tree is its phenomenal autumn colour. Sometimes yellowish, but usually a brilliant orange and fiery red autumn colour.
