Pygmy Fringe Tree, scientifically known as Chionanthus pygmaeus, is an extraordinary shrub native to the harsh, sandy terrains of central Florida. Adapted to enduring fires that sweep its habitat every 20 to 70 years, it thrives in open, sandy patches utilizing its above-ground stems that grow from their rootstalks. This attribute enables it to regenerate even when fires occur. Yet, despite its resilience, this rare species, recognized for pleasant-smelling white flowers, is federally listed as endangered due to extensive land clearing for residential development and citrus production. Most of its population remains small, with only 46 known occurrences as of 2010. Its charming characteristic trait, the fringelike appearance due to the drooping panicle packed with many narrow corolla lobes, has led to the plant's unique name. Pygmy Fringe Tree is a close relative of Asian and American fringe trees and shares their characteristics, yet it only grows to four feet due to its harsh natural environment. Protect this treasure by supporting habitat protection and responsible land development practices.
