The Chinese Fringe Tree is a versatile flowering tree native to eastern Asia. It’s prized for its ornamental features that offer year-round interest. In spring, the tree explodes with a profusion of fragrant white flowers. These delicate blooms are borne in clusters at the tips of branches, resembling fringes and creating a stunning display. After the flowers fade, the tree transitions to a lush green canopy throughout the summer. Come fall, the foliage puts on a final show, transforming into a vibrant golden yellow before dropping. Fringe trees are dioecious, meaning there are separate male and female trees. The females produce berries, technically called drupes, which are small, fleshy fruits that contain a single seed inside. The berries are small, typically around ½ inch to 1 inch in diameter, and have a similar color to a blueberry. Standing out for its adaptability, the Chinese Fringe tree can be trained to grow as either a large shrub or a small tree. This allows gardeners to incorporate it into landscapes of various sizes. Once established, it tolerates moderate drought conditions and requires minimal pruning. This makes it a great choice for gardeners who appreciate beautiful plants that don’t demand a lot of care and attention.
