For some reason, I can't find picture of the whole tree in bloom. I've seen some fringe trees which are very effective from distance - I presume the more sun, the better the bloom. There's an asian version (chionanthus retusus) which I think has less showy bloom. But I've seen in catalogs this past spring a new cultivar of the asian species called Arnold's Pride, which is supposed to be better. I haven't seen it, however. Here's another spring bloomer which is unique and I find beautiful: stachyurus praecox. Mine is in bloom this weekend. Pic 2 & 3 are stachyurus from my yard yesterday. You can see my trunk protectors on my younger trees (from my annoying deer)... This message was edited Apr 14, 2013 6:56 AM |
