White Fringe Tree It is also known as Old Mans Beard. The common name refers to the slightly fragrant, spring-blooming flowers which feature airy, terminal, drooping clusters (4-6" long) of fringe-like, creamy white petals. Flowers give way to clusters of olive-like fruits which ripen to a dark, bluish black in late summer and are a food source for birds and wildlife. Wide, spear-shaped leaves (to 8" long) turn yellow in autumn. They are intolerant of air pollution and prolonged dry conditions and grow in groups, as specimens in lawns, in shrub, or in woodland borders. They may also may be used in native plant gardens or near streams or ponds. They are spectacular in full bloom.
