Native to eastern North America, this slow-to-moderate grower develops a pyramidal to oval-rounded crown with distinctive, tiered, horizontal branches. The ovate, dark green, lustrous leaves turn a stunning mix of orange, scarlet, yellow, and purple in autumn, rivaling any tree for fall color. Small, greenish-white flowers appear in spring, followed by small, dark blue, olive-like fruits (drupes) that are highly attractive to birds and wildlife. Exceptionally long-lived and pest-free, it is an outstanding choice for a specimen shade tree in large landscapes, but it \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eabsolutely requires acidic soil (pH below 6.5)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e to thrive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victory Nursery","offers":[{"title":"15 Gallon","offer_id":44140032524376,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" Box","offer_id":44140033933400,"sku":null,"price":1299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8000\/6232\/files\/Image_jpeg_c93dc7ca-bb1a-4e94-af38-9cd8acb2045e.png?v=1779683980","url":"https:\/\/victorynursery.us\/products\/nyssa-sylvatica","provider":"Victory Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
