White Fringetree

White Fringetree
Chionanthus virginicus

A truly lovely native shrub or small tree. It has a graceful, broad spreading growth habit, usually wider than tall. The large panicles of white ribbon-like petals are enchanting, delicate and highly fragrant. These are followed by large clusters of blueberry-like fruits that are attractively set against the mid green leaves. In fall these leaves turn a vibrant yellow. All in all a beautiful and distinctive four-season shrub!
