Shrub

Chionanthus virginicus

Fringe Tree
Fragrant Scent Hardiness H5

Fringe Tree is a medium shrub producing clouds of creamy-white, lightly scented flowers in early summer. Blue-black berries may follow, extending its appeal into autumn and providing food for birds. Deciduous and bushy in habit, it holds glossy green leaves that fade to soft yellow tones before falling. If you’re after a shrub that brings fragrance and wildlife together, this is a rewarding choice.
