1 Live Plant Sourwood Tree Oxydendrum arboreum Ornamental Flowering Native Tree

Sourwood is a slow-growing deciduous tree valued for its glossy green foliage, fragrant midsummer flowers, and vivid scarlet-red autumn color. It offers year-round ornamental interest to home landscapes, native plant gardens, and pollinator-friendly outdoor spaces.
Although often called a tree, sourwood naturally grows in a range of forms from a small shrub to a tall specimen. It performs best in a sunny to partly shaded site with moist, acidic, well-drained soil and benefits from consistent moisture while becoming established. Its cascading clusters of small bell-shaped blooms appear in summer, followed by colorful fall foliage. This offering is a single live seedling, an easy way to begin growing this attractive native species in a garden border, woodland edge, or container until planting out.
