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. White Fringetrees are easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. They are intolerant of air pollution and prolonged dry conditions and grow in groups, as specimens in lawns, in shrub, or in woodland borders. They may also may be used in native plant gardens or near streams or ponds. They are spectacular in full bloom. |
