Fringe Tree: Chionanthus Virginicus



A true jaw-dropper, Chionanthus Virginicus, or Fringe Tree is a small tree or large suckering shrub native to the Eastern United States. It is known for it's very showy, fragrant flowers which hang in long panicles and appear just as the tree is leafing out in the Spring. The tree is absolutely amazing in full bloom! Fringe Tree prefers moist, fertile, well drained soil. It can be used as a specimen or in native plantings, and also thrives in urban settings. At maturity, Fringe Tree can get to be 20' tall with approximately the same width and is an extremely slow grower. We have many beautiful sizes to chose from here at KAT. Come out and see us and we will help you pick out a great specimen.
