    Where to buy a tupelo tree?
    I have one tree on my place in Maryland that is a tupelo, or Gum tree. It turns the most gorgeous shade of bright red in the fall. I would like to get two more, thinking of these lining the driveway. Where to buy one? Mine doesn't produce seed, maybe it would if there w:confused: as more than one tree? Anyone know of a tree/nursery catalog that has this? It is NOT a Sweetgum with the star shaped leaf and the little gumballs. The leaves are just rounded like an apple tree leaf but very glossy
