Fragrant Fountain Japanese Snowbell

The Fragrant Fountain Japanese Snowbell is an amazing weeping tree that develops an upright central stem with cascading side branches. The ultimate size depends on how high you support it, or it can be allowed to spill down a slope, spill over a retaining wall, or be tied onto a fence, trellis or the wall of a building. The green leaves turn golden yellow in fall. In early summer the branches are covered in a multitude of hanging white bell-shaped flowers that are intensely fragrant. These are followed by small olive-like fruits that are ultimately taken by songbirds in late fall.

• Beautiful cascading tree with a central stem
• Can be grown as tall as you want, or allowed to grow down a slope
• Extra-fragrant white blooms in early summer
• Songbirds love the berries that develop by fall
• Excellent as a potted specimen

Full sun or some partial shade are perfect for the Fragrant Fountain Japanese Snowbell, which grows best in moist, well-drained soil that is neutral to acidic, although this tree is not as particular as most ‘acid-loving’ shrubs are. It doesn’t have pests or disease and it’s fast-growing and easy to grow. It can be staked or tied up as you wish – the final size and form is in your hands.
