Sourwood Tree – Stunning Fall Color & Fragrant Blooms

• The Sourwood Tree (Oxydendrum arboreum) is an elegant, slow-growing deciduous tree prized for its cascading summer flowers and brilliant scarlet-red fall foliage. Native to the eastern United States, this tree thrives in well-drained soils and is a favorite for its year-round beauty. In mid to late summer, the Sourwood Tree produces delicate, white, bell-shaped flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. As autumn approaches, its lush green leaves transform into fiery red and burgundy tones, creating a spectacular fall display. The tree's unique ridged bark and drooping flower clusters add additional ornamental appeal, making it a standout in any landscape.

• When planted with Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Packs, Soil Moist Transplant Mix, Max Growth Tree Shelters, and Weed Pro Weed Mats, the Sourwood Tree establishes strong roots and provides long-lasting beauty and environmental benefits.
