Nyssa sinensis is a widely adaptable tree with great fall color. This broadly conical tree is especially suitable for difficult sites and wet soils. New leaves emerge cast in bronze-purple and mature to dark green. Leaves are alternate and simple, with small teeth at the margin not found in other species of Nyssa. Mature leaves can reach 8 to 10 inches long by 3 inches wide. fall color ranges from brilliant red and pumpkin orange to hints of yellow. This is a smaller tree than its American relative, Nyssa sylvatica (black tupelo or sour gum), and is better suited for the small urban garden. It is also more disease resistant than Nyssa sylvatica. Chinese tupelo is a particularly good choice for areas with wet soils or near ponds, streams, and lakes. Nyssa sinensis can also be used as a street tree due to its tolerance of compacted soils. The genus Nyssa is named for one of the water nymphs of Greek mythology.
