Choose the planting spot for your Nyssa with care as unlike most of my plants they don't like having a ride in the wheel-barrow to a new position.

aka Tupelo

The word Nyssa means Water Nymph which will give you a strong indication that this deciduous tree loves to grow in moist conditions. Ideal for pond side or swamp planting. Slow growing and shy to leaf in spring but very graceful once the leaves emerge. Simply stunning autumn colour. Est.10yr.growth.
