Also known as Tupelo, Sourgum, and Pepperidge, this is a pyramidal, deciduous tree that grows 30 to 50 feet tall, and occasionally to 90 feet. It produces glossy foliage and small, greenish-white flowers on long stalks in the spring, as well as small, blue berries that are very popular with fruit-eating birds and mammals. This slow-growing species is very adaptable, tolerating many conditions and habitats, but preferring moist, acid soils.
