Wildfire Black Gum is a slow-growing native deciduous tree that has a tidy pyramidal habit when young and branches that become more horizontal as it matures. The lightly toothed shiny foliage emerges bold red before maturing to dark green, and turns fiery scarlet in fall. The fruit and flowers are insignificant. Best grown in part sun and well-drained soils.
