Plant of the Day

Tuesday 2 July 2019

The airy, slightly fragrant, creamy- white flowers of Chionanthus virginicus (fringe tree, old man's beard, poison ash) looked beautiful against the silver-grey wood of this barn in the Tangled Garden, Nova Scotia, Canada. This deciduous shrub is a native of Eastern North America.

Chinese Fringe Tree

Chionanthus Retusus

Common Name: Chinese fringe tree   Type: Tree Family: Oleaceae Native Range: Asia Zone: 5 to 9 Height: 10.00 to 20.00 feet Spread: 10.00 to 20.00 feet Bloom Time: May to June Bloom Description: White Sun: Full sun to part shade Water: Medium

This small tree is a highly prized garden addition, due to its great aesthetic qualities. It grows in the zones 5 through 9, so it easily can flourish in our zone. This tree usually doesn’t get higher than around 20 feet in height, while also not exceeding around 20-25 feet across.

This tree blossoms in the spring, with some beautiful white flowers that resemble drooping boomerangs or even water droplets. These cluster and form beautiful white groups of flower that dot the tree. I will award this tree highly for its flowering capabilities, earning a 8 our of 10.

Bark: (1-3) 2.5

Leaves: (1-4) 2.5

Landscape uniqueness: (1-3) 3

Total: 8

Hence the name, it is native to Asian, primarily China, where it was brought over as an import. This tree enjoys area’s with plenty of sun and plenty of water, if you own one domestically they require watering to keep alive. Through my research on how well this wood would function as a building material, I have found that it is a hardwood, but there is very little information in regards to working the wood, assuming its primary use is that of decoration, the use of cultivation for wood seems wrong. I will give it s 2 out of 10 for build qualities.

The spring flowers keep coming at Cal Poly Pomona. I found these trees adjacent to the rose garden — where I also took a bunch of pictures.
