The Fringe Tree is a dramatic flowering native tree from the southeastern states. It will grow across almost all the country, in cooler and warmer areas. It makes a perfect small specimen tree for an urban garden, since it is resistant to urban conditions, or it will thrive in a larger garden too. In early summer the Fringe Tree is covered with beautiful and unique white flowers that fill the air with a rich perfume that is similar to the scent of lilacs. This lovely tree makes a spectacular display and it is also beautiful in fall, when the leaves turn a perfect clear yellow.

  • Bold early-summer show of feathery white flowers
  • Fills the garden with a lilac-like perfume
  • Grows well in any soil and thrives in wet areas
  • Beautiful clear yellow fall colors
  • Perfect size for a smaller urban garden

Choose a sunny location for your Fringe Tree, which will grow in most kinds of soil. Grow it along streams or by a pond, although it will also grow well in regular garden conditions. Once established it is moderately drought tolerant, but it should not be allowed to become completely dry for long periods. Because it is a native tree it can be used in natural gardens too, or to add interest to wooded parts of your property. A tree in flower is a spectacular sight that will turn heads and have your neighbours asking you what that beautiful tree is.
