CHINESE FRINGETREE

Chionanthus retusus is commonly referred to as Chinese Fringetree. This small deciduous tree features fragrant, fringe-like, white flowers in late spring. Glossy green foliage turns yellow in fall. Purplish-blue fruit matures from late September to October, providing a second season of interest. This variety has slightly shorter and wider petals and smaller, leathery-like leaves than its native US cousin, Chionanthus virginicus.

Chinese Fringetree is a handsome specimen and easy to grow. It thrives in partial sun in evenly moist, well-draining soils.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote healthy growth.
