National Plant Network’s grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening! White Fringe tree, also known as Old Man's Beard, is a spectacular native shrub that's rounded habit allows for it to easily be pruned into tree-form. Blooming in late spring, it is prized for its unusual, fragrant white fringe-like flowers. It thrives in USDA zones 3 through 9 in full sun to part shade and is often found in the wild growing along streams or in moist forests, meaning it adapts well to clay soils and wetter landscapes. In fall its foliage turns a gentle yellow and, on female plants, clusters of deep bluish-black berries ripen, adding wildlife appeal and multi-season interest. Use it as a specimen, border accent, or native garden feature where its otherworldly beauty and fragrance can make the biggest impact.
