Buy Forest Fire™ Blackgum online. A moderate growing, native, pyramidal tree. Forest Fire™ Blackgum has an excellent branching habit that creates an attractive early silhouette. Glossy green foliage turns fiery red fall. Blackgums are known to be dioecious, which means that male and female flowers are produced on separate plants, however, perfect flowers are also produced in each plant that will aid in fruit production. Multiple trees will aid in the production of fruit, and will fill the need of those looking for trees for birds and nature attraction.
