Ode to the Tupelo Blackgum—I think the masterpiece of fall trees is the Tupelo Blackgum. It grows into a mighty tree filled with beautiful, scarlet red, fall color on shiny, dark thick leaves. This morning as Phinnie and I strolled along, I marveled at how spectacular the Galla Meadow Blackgums were. They glowed with only a smidgen of rain. The prettiest is a small one as it’s in a low spot and received more moisture. God made those sparkling Arkansas diamonds, but His creation of the Tupelo Blackgum is just as magnificent.
