Nyssa sylvatica 'Wildfire' (Wildfire Black Gum) is a popular, deciduous shade tree cultivar prized for its, fiery red new growth in spring that matures to glossy dark green, and brilliant red, orange, and purple fall foliage. It typically grows 30-50 feet tall, has a moderate growth rate, and thrives in full sun to part shade in moist, acidic soil.
