It took me forever to identify anything in the Nyssa genus! They're also not super common where I live either though. But I didn't know about the limbs growing at 90 degree angles!
How come Nyssa sylvatica and Fagus sylvatica aren’t in the same family? I guess the genus is more important in that regard than the specific epithet? Love them both and love this channel! :)
Thanks for your kind words! So, Nyssa is in its own family Nyssaceae, and Fagus is in Fagaceae, the Beech Family, along with the oaks. They are not very closely related, although they are both flowering plants (Angiosperms). Oaks and beeches are closely related, so even though they are in different genera, they are in the same family. Hope that makes sense!
We have Nyssa sylvatica up in New York where I've heard it called Black Tupelo! Thanks for the vid :)

That 90d branching is one of my favorite characters! And the leaves are what my TAs call "a leaf-looking leaf." Beautiful fall color, too.
@@ncstatedendrology6721 Haha, "A leaf-looking leaf", I love it!
