Black tupelo named `NXSXF`

Abstract

A black tupelo tree named `NXSXF` having an upright, conical growth habit with a dense foliage canopy, a dominant leader with uniformly spaced secondary branches extending upwardly, consistent red fall color, leaf spot resistance, and the capability of being reproduced reliably by budding.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of black tupelo tree substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by its fast growth rate, unique upright, conical growth habit, uniformly spaced ascending branches, and consistent, red fall color.
