Chinese Pearlbloom

Commonly known as the Chinese Pearlbloom, this is an attractive tree with fabulous flowers. Large and showy clusters of fragrant, white flowers are borne in summer and are a sight to behold. These contrast wonderfully with the lush, dark green foliage which serves as a lovely backdrop. This deciduous tree has foliage that emerges dark-red-bronze in spring, ages to become emerald green, then develops colourful yellow tones in autumn before falling. It grows with a compact and upright habit to about 6 m tall and 5 m wide, and can easily be contained with trimming. Best results with this tree are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained, semi-sheltered site. It is hardy to frost, cool climates, and short periods of dry. The Chinese Pearlbloom makes for a wonderful specimen tree and its smaller size makes it suitable for homes with larger gardens.
