"Lily of the Valley tree"
The sourwood tree is one of the most beautiful and unusual trees. Masses of fragrant urn-shaped flowers in drooping clusters followed by an excellent contrast of brilliant red fall leaf color and long white seed pods.The sourwood is a deciduous, medium sized tree that grows to heights of 30 to 60 feet. The tree has a slender pyramid form often with a curved or leaning trunk. In spring and early summer the sourwood changes almost overnight from a pretty green shade tree into a white cloud of thousands of fragrant Lily of the Valley like flowers. Due to the similarity of the flowers and its fragrance, this tree is also commonly called the Lily of the Valley tree. It holds its fragrant white flowers against lustrous foliage for almost a whole month and creates quite a show.¿¿When in bloom the honeybee will seek out the trees' abundant white flowers that it uses to create a delicious treat. Superior quality Sourwood honey is produced from the flowers pollen. Then the first frost causes the whole tree to turn to a brilliant flaming or crimson red which is rivaled by only a few other trees. There are few sights that are as striking as a row of Sourwood in fall color.

Site Requirements/ Soil tolerances: Best grown in acidic, moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun but is adaptable. Tolerates part shade, but with somewhat diminished flowering and fall color. Intolerant of drought and pollution.

Culture: Difficult to transplant. Young or recently moved trees lack full cold hardiness in zone 5.

Uses: Beautiful small specimen flowering tree with multi-season interest for lawns, patios, shade gardens or open woodland areas. Plant with azaleas and rhododendrons or other plants that share the same acidic soil preferences.
