Symmetrical, upsweeping branches and a strong central leader contribute to the remarkably neat and uniform appearance of this relatively narrow tupelo. Dark green foliage turns intensely bright re, coloring earlier in autumn than most cultivars. Grows in sun to part shade, 35' tall and 18' wide. Hardy to Zone 5.
