Chionanthus virginicus
Chionanthus virginicus, the snowflake tree or shrub, is particularly decorative and can grow up to 7m in good conditions. It flowers from May to June with graceful and delicately scented white plumes. The leaves are leathery, dark green on top and somewhat lighter in color below, turning yellow-green to brown in autumn. In September, olive-like almost black fruits also adorn the female Chionanthus shrub (if a male specimen is also nearby). The snowflake tree is well tolerant of air pollution and thus suitable for the urban environment. However, it is sensitive to wind and road salt.
