tupelos
Southern wetland trees
Tupelos are trees native to eastern North America and Asia, growing in swamps and wetlands.
The black tupelo and water tupelo are the most familiar species.
Tupelo honey, produced from the nectar of tupelo flowers in southern swamps, is prized for its mild flavor and resistance to crystallization.
The tupelos along the riverbank turned brilliant red in autumn.
