[edit] Bark, twig descriptions

Black tupelo bark can actually be anywhere between grey and reddish brown, and flaky, when young. When older, the furrows are more or less vertical, but follow the often wavy shape of the trunk. The alligator-hide bark does not always appear, since there is not always horizontal cross-scoring. The twigs are almost all at right angles to the branches, a distinctive identifying feature.

Not sure what the protocol is for making changes like this as part of the article is referenced to a published description.
