Oxydendrum arboreum (Sourwood)

The Sourwood tree, also known as Oxydendrum arboreum, is a deciduous tree that produces beautiful clusters of fragrant, white flowers in the summer. The flowers are followed by drooping clusters of small, red, berry-like fruits that persist into the fall. The leaves turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and purple in the autumn, making it a stunning tree for year-round interest. It typically grows in a clump or multi-stemmed form, and its open habit allows it to fit well into many landscape situations.
