Nyssa sinensis (Chinese tupelo) is a species of flowering plant in the family Cornaceae (or Nyssaceae), native to China and Vietnam.^[1] Growing to 10 m (33 ft) tall and wide, it is a broadly conical deciduous tree, with oval leaves 15–20 cm (6–8 in) long, which turn brilliant red, orange and yellow in autumn.^[2][3]

Nyssa sinensis is known in cultivation as a more compact version of its relative Nyssa sylvatica (the black tupelo). Both plants, originating from swamps and wetlands, require moist conditions.^[4]

The cultivar ‘Jim Russell’ has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.^[5][6]
