About

This knock-out ornamental tree has a late spring bloom featuring exquisite white flowers with fine ribbon-like petals. Choose a spot with full sun to get the most flowers but also tolerates part shade. Though delicate looking, the White Fringe tree is deceptivly hardy, adaptable to a wide range of USDA growing zones, and a native species requiring low maintenance once established. You’ll want to give this tree a special spot in your yard with good air circulation so not to miss the showy, fragrant flowers.
