Introducing Mountain Silverbell, an ornamental tree native to the Appalachian Mountains in the southeastern United States. This deciduous tree or large shrub stands at 20-40 feet tall and boasts bell-shaped, white flowers appearing in clusters in spring. Its elliptic to oblong-obovate medium green leaves add to its summer charm, turning yellow in fall. The tree's exfoliating bark adds to its winter interest. Similar to Halesia Carolina, its flowers are larger. Named after British clergyman and plant physiologist Stephen Hales, this tree is a beauty to behold. While it may grow to 40-80 feet tall in its native habitat, it is usually smaller when cultivated. Its four-winged fruits mature in the fall, providing an added touch of beauty. Consider the Mountain Silverbell for your garden to add unique beauty and interest year-round.
