Chionanthus virginicus

Common Name: Fringetree

Pot Size: 2g

This large shrub or small tree offers fragrant white flowers in spring, vibrant yellow foliage in fall, and a valuable food source for birds. Though technically dioecious, with separate male and female plants, either may produce some perfect flowers capable of fruiting without cross pollination. Male flowers are showier, while fertilized female or perfect flowers develop into dark bluish-black fruit in late summer, attracting wildlife.
