Oxydendrum arboreum

Sourwood is a well-kept secret among tree aficionados! This elegant, slow-growing native has something to offer in every season: airy sprays of white flowers in summer, lava-red foliage in fall, and a handsome bark the rest of the year. What’s more, Sourwood is a pollinator paradise (and not a secret among beekeepers) - honey bees relish the blossoms, and from it they make what many consider to be the finest honey in the world.
