NYSSA sylvatica Red Rage™ 'Hayman's Red'
|
Description: OK, so not everyone has that horticultural Holy Grail, "moist, but well-drained soil." Do you sigh and turn the page, resigning yourself to a weeping willow? Fear not, there ARE alternatives. Take Nyssa for example. A lovely tree that is native to the Eastern U.S., it revels in a wet site, but is perfectly content with a dry location as well. The new cultivar 'Red Rage' offers a particularly glorious fall display of leaves lacquered with scarlet-orange. Plant where birds can enjoy the dark blue fruit without woe. For those of you who remember Van Morrison, this is the Tupelo of "Tupelo Honey."
