Tokyo Tower Fringetree

Spring brings cascades of white, thinly petaled flowers on this very upright selection of the oriental fringe tree. Upon maturity, the fruit turn blue, contrasting nicely with the golden yellow fall color. With age, the bark on the trunk begins to exfoliate, revealing contrasting tan and gold colors. Plant 'Tokyo Tower' in full sun and in moderately rich soils.
