Chionanthus retusus is a landscaping star, more commonly named the Chinese Fringe Tree. This masterpiece from our tree category extends its charm from 10 to 20 feet high and is celebrated for its versatility and endurance. Clad with glossy, dark green leaves, the Chinese Fringe Tree constructs a broad, rounded spectacle that shines in both full sun and partial shade. As spring quietly fades, prepare to be captivated by its magnificent reveal of delicate, fringe-like blooms – a serene white specter that drapes across each branch. But this tree isn't solely a spring stunner: come fall, it dons a vibrant, yellow cloak, and some mature trees may surprise you with striking blue-black, olive-like fruits, which are hot favorites among the bird community. Well-suited to weather a range of soil conditions while only demanding moderate water use, the Chinese Fringe Tree—a blend of natural beauty and low maintenance—promises to dramatically elevate your landscape's aesthetics.
