Discover the captivating beauty and versatility of Cyrilla racemiflora, commonly known as Black Titi, Leatherwood, or Swamp Cyrilla. This remarkable evergreen, semi-evergreen, or tardily deciduous shrub transforms from a shrubby youth into a slender small tree, reaching heights of 8-30 ft with a spread of 10-15 ft. Adorned with twisted stems, smooth cinnamon-colored bark, and fragrant white flowers, it attracts bees, butterflies, and other essential pollinators. Appreciated by honey producers for its premium nectar, Black Titi thrives in the boggy landscapes of southeastern North America, stretching to Central and South America. With its ability to endure wet and acidic soils, it's an excellent choice for coastal, wildlife, and rain gardens, adding year-round interest with its showy floral clusters and vibrant fall foliage. Ideal for ponds, streams, or wetland borders, this low-maintenance tree is also resilient to pests and disease. Enhance your landscape with this ornamental gem, offering beauty and ecological benefits in equal measure.
