Styrax obassia / Size: 3" trunk diameter, B&B root ball
Sweet-smelling pendulous flowers fill this tree in late May and early June when most smaller-statured ornamental trees have finished their spring blossom show. Styrax obassia produces masses of cream- white flowers with dramatic yellow stamens and on terminal clusters. These flowers give way to small delicate fruits (drupes) that persist into late autumn. The rounded foliage has a wonderful velvety texture and the bark is a smooth gray with twigs that exfoliate bark like rolls of cinnamon. With a lovely growth habit with sinewy curving branches, this tree reaches 25' tall and 15' wide. Hardy to Zone 5, Styrax obassia prefers well-drained soils and full-to-part sun for best flower set. Fragrant snowbell, an elegant collector's tree, is perfectly named for its wonderful bell-shaped blooms.
