The Baltimore Tree Trust team picked the Blackgum for Baltimore’s Official City Tree!
Native to Maryland, the Blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica) is known for its brilliant red fall color, supports native bees and pollinators, and provides food for songbirds and other wildlife.
Beautiful, resilient, and beneficial to local ecosystems—what’s not to love?

Maryland is now under a drought disaster designation, and much of the Baltimore region remains under drought warnings and voluntary water conservation measures. Recent years have brought increasingly frequent and prolonged drought conditions to our region, creating new challenges for Baltimore’s urban forest.
For newly planted trees, summer drought can be the difference between thriving and struggling to survive.
As Baltimore Tree Trust transitions from spring planting season into summer tree care, our work shifts from putting trees in the ground to keeping them alive. Every day, our forestry crews head out with water tanks mounted on our trucks, watering up to 100 trees per crew. Together, we can provide life-saving water to 600+ young trees each day.
These young trees are an investment in cooler neighborhoods, cleaner air, reduced stormwater runoff, and a greener Baltimore. But they need consistent care during their first few years to become the healthy canopy trees our city depends on.
This summer, while many of us are seeking shade, our crews will be working to grow it.
