Chionanthus Pygmaeus Pygmy Fringe Tree

Chionanthus pygmaeus, commonly known as the Pygmy Fringe Tree, is a rare and unique deciduous shrub or small tree native to Florida. It is prized for its delicate, fragrant white flowers that bloom in spring, resembling fringe or lace. These flowers are followed by small, dark blue to black fruits that attract wildlife. The Pygmy Fringe Tree is slow-growing and typically reaches about 6 to 10 feet in height, making it an excellent ornamental addition to gardens and natural landscapes. It thrives in well-drained, sandy soils and prefers full sun to partial shade, with moderate drought tolerance.
