A perfect round-headed tree with large round leaves. Care in planting and growing this fine specimen will reward you in June with fragrant white bell shaped flowers held in dangling racemes from the branch tips. An flaking and curling chestnut colored bark the second year is an added bonus. Can reach 30' and looks great in almost any place in the garden, tolerating but not needing considerable shade. Excellent in combination with rhododendrons or azaleas.

The large, almost-round, leaves of this lovely, rounded shrub/sm tree are velvety-tufted below; early summer brings its small, but fragrant, bell-shaped white flowers in 6-8" racemes. Sun-PSh/Med

Rounded leaves of medium green create a soothing effect on this slow growing tree. Fragrant clusters of white flowers appear in early summer. 20' tall in time.
