White Fringe Tree The White Fringetree, Chionanthus virginicus, is a deciduous shrub or small tree with a spreading, rounded habit. The common name refers to the slightly fragrant, spring-blooming flowers which feature airy, terminal, drooping clusters (4-6" long) of fringe-like, creamy white petals. Flowers give way to clusters of olive-like fruits which ripen to a dark, bluish black in late summer and are a food source for birds and wildlife. Wide, spear-shaped leaves (to 8" long) turn yellow in autumn. White Fringetrees are easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. It prefers moist, fertile soils. These deciduous trees seldom need pruning. They may also may be used in native plant gardens or near streams or ponds. They are spectacular in full bloom. |
