Styrax japonica

Styrax japonica is a small, deciduous tree grown for its fragrant flowers and colourful autumn foliage. Masses of showy and scented, white flowers are borne in pendulous clusters in late spring. The dark green foliage is lush and large, 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 10 m tall and 6 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. This 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.
