Fragrant Snowbell Tree Styrax obassia

The fragrant snowbell is a large-leaved deciduous flowering tree. This beautiful tree grows to a height of 20 to 30 feet and has an upright and pyramidal habit when young and then becomes rounded with age. It gets its common name from the 6- to 8-inch-long racemes of fragrant and showy white flowers that appear in late spring to early summer. Blooming after the leaves emerge, the flowers' beauty can be hidden by the foliage.  After flowering, drupes are formed. They may be present into late autumn.  These trees are 3-4' tall. Will grow in zones 5-8.
