Chionanthus virginicus

Fringetree

Shimmering, white fringed flowers cover this plant in May or June followed by small, round, bluish olive-shaped fruit on female trees in fall. The fruits are eaten by many types of birds. Leaves often turn bright yellow in fall. Fringetree is found along wooded bluffs and along edges of glades as well as along creeks and in wet woods. Grow in part sun to shade as a small tree or shrub. Beautiful as a single specimen or planted in groups.
