Fringe Tree is a fabulously showy tree with a small stature but big impact! In spring, the branches erupt with snow-white clusters of fleecy, pendulous flowers, which give way to deep blue fruits resembling olives. This is an outstanding specimen for large and small gardens alike. Oh, and did we mention the divine fragrance?
