Chionanthus retusus
Chinese Fringe tree
Description
Chionanthus retusus, commonly called Chinese Fringe Tree, is a small, deciduous tree or large shrub that is highly prized for its unique, fragrant flowers. It is often used as an ornamental tree in residential and commercial landscapes because of its attractive foliage, and striking blooms. In late spring to early summer, it produces masses of delicate, white, fringed flowers that hang in clusters, creating a beautiful display. The leaves are simple, oval-shaped, and turn a golden yellow in the fall, adding to its seasonal interest. Chinese Fringe Tree is relatively low-maintenance, preferring well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is a great choice for areas that need both beauty and fragrance.
