Chionanthus virginicus
White Fringe Tree
One of the great charmers in the native tree world. Very showy spring flowers and adaptable to boot. Have found it growing in the crack of a granite outcrop with western exposure at 4000' in western Carolina, and have found it on the banks of the Suwannee River in Florida.
