Description

Broadly pyramidal to oval shaped tree to 40' tall, spread 25'. This tupelo offers an extra season of brightly colored foliage. Spring brings a surprising flush of deep red new growth, which continues as long as new leaves emerge. Summer foliage is green, changing to autumn tints of orange-yellow to purplish red.
