This deciduous ornamental tree features a compact, pyramidal habit with a graceful branching structure, making it an excellent choice for small gardens or urban landscapes. Recommended for zones 5-8, it thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers moist, well-drained, acidic to neutral soils. The tree showcases a spectacular display of fragrant, bell-shaped, white flowers in late spring, creating a stunning contrast against its dark green foliage. In the fall, the leaves turn a rich yellow, adding seasonal interest. The tree produces small, inedible drupes that attract birds. Reaching a mature height of 20-25 feet, it has a low, broad canopy with excellent deer resistance. This low-maintenance plant is ideal for adding structure and texture to gardens while supporting pollinators and wildlife.
