Chionanthus

Fringe Tree

Chionanthus virginicus 

With ample cream-colored, lacy blossoms and blue, egg-shaped fruit, the American Fringe tree is one of the most beautiful of all North American trees. Native to the eastern United States, it appears quite elegant near water, where its openly branching limbs and glossy green leaves can be reflected in the afternoon light.

Growing into small trees or occasionally multistemmed large shrubs, Chionanthus are easy to cultivate in moist, loamy soil and are well sized for a lawn or small yard. Grows slowly to its full size.

Large Band.

Blooms late June – mid-July.

Size: 15' high x 20' wide; hardy to zone 4.
