Introducing the Styrax obassia Fragrant Snowbell, a beautiful and fragrant addition to any garden. This small, slender, upright tree with ascending branches and rounded crown grows to a height of 20-30 feet, making it an ideal choice for yards with limited space. In the spring, fragrant white flowers in 8" clusters adorn the tree, while large dark green leaves provide a lush backdrop. As the tree matures, its habit becomes more rounded, providing visual interest throughout the year. The Styrax obassia prefers moist, acidic soil and part shade, especially in hot regions, and is native to northeast Asia. The smooth gray bark exfoliates on older trees, revealing an attractive orange inner layer, providing winter interest. Do not miss the opportunity to add this stunning and unique tree to your landscape.
