  1. Tiny Tree presented by Christian & Rachael Ecology 4th Mrs. Dunnavent

  2. TinyTree! • Blackgum(Black Tupelo, Sour Gum, Pepperidge) • Nyssa sylatica; Scientist Marsh

  3. Fun Facts :D • The leaves of this tree can vary in size and shape. They can be oval, elliptical, and obovate. • Blackgum is a medium sized tree that can reach up to 80 ft. tall in moist areas, but are much smaller in mountain settings. • It is used for pulpwood, wooden containers, and intentionally rough flooring when it is used at all. • Ecologically, black gum is vital to some ecosystems. Birds and wildlife eat its fruit, bees use its nectar to make honey, and in deeply wooded wilderness areas, black bears use its rotted heartwood for their dens. • Popular for its foliage and its leaves begin to change color earlier on than most other tree species.

  4. A quick look up Laying on the ground looking up. A moment to see what an ant sees.

  6. Going through changes. • The only changes we had observed was the change in color due to the colder weather. Also insects that made homes in are tree are gone as the spider’s nest.As stated before, Black Gums tend to change earlier than most other tree species. The leaves will turn a pretty red !

  7. A joyful moment outside we enjoyed having the opportunity to go outside and learn about nature and how much we effect it. We picked our tree because unlike the others he was tiny. We watched him mature and care for the animals around him. Now that cold whether is coming he is starting to lose his leaves. To watch up close our tree change with the seasons was an experience we will not soon forget.
