Garden Goods Direct Trees American Fringe Tree

American Fringe Trees (Chionanthus virginicus), also known as Virginia Fringe Tree or White Fringe Tree, is a North American native tree with fragrant six to eight inch panicles that emerge in the late spring. A mature tree can stop traffic when in full bloom, usually early to mid-May.

Chionanthus virginicus is a dwarf flowering tree and cloaks itself in lacy white petals from top to bottom before the leaves appear in the spring. The female flowers will give way to dark blue berries in the summer that are attractive to wildlife. It is one of the last trees to bear new leaves in the spring and it is a beautiful accent for any landscape.
