We’ve brought in some lovely and unusual trees this year! One striking example is Heptacodium Miconioides (Seven Son Tree). This early fall bloomer for sun or light shade boasts gorgeous exfoliating bark, providing winter interest. Lovely white flowers appear in September and as they drop, a unique display of red-purple begins, as the bases of the flowers (calyces) expand to surround the developing seeds. Heptacodium miconioides is a small, fast growing tree that ultimately reaches about 20 feet.
