Nyssa sylvatica fruit in June? Arkansas tupelo/cypress river. Early June, I kayaked miles of tupelos and didn’t notice fruits and then I saw this tree, which I thought was a tupelo, loaded with fruits. They seemed pretty close to ripe and definitely not from last year. Questions: 1. Is the pictured fruit bearing tree a black tupelo? 2. Why would it be fruiting so early? Unlike the many others around. Originally by u/sonny_flatts on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/26jqj6t6
