Chinese Snowbell Tree

Commonly known as Chinese Snowbell Tree, this is a small, deciduous tree grown for its fragrant flowers and colourful autumn foliage. Small, bell-shaped, white flowers are borne in pendulous clusters in late spring. The foliage is lush, large, mid green, and develops red tones in autumn before falling. The combination of flowers and foliage in spring is very aesthetic. It grows with a broad habit to about 5 m tall and 4 m wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and short periods of dry. The Chinese Snowbell Tree is commonly grown as a specimen, included in a mixed planting, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants. It is a great tree for smaller gardens and can easily be contained with trimming.
