Styrax obassia (Fragrant Snowbell)

This plant may grow to be a small tree or a big shrub with a height of 30 feet and a width of 20 feet. It has a pyramidal form at first, but as it ages, it gets more open. On 4-inch to 8-inch long chains, fragrant, bell-shaped white blooms bloom. In late spring, flowers hang from rounded, dark green leaves, followed by tiny light brown fruits that fall by late October. Grow in fertile, humus-rich, neutral to acidic soil that is wet but well-drained. Protect yourself from the wind. Early in the spring, this plant begins to leaf out.
