Halesia Carolina Garden Trees

Halesia carolina (Snowdrop tree)

There is something captivating about natural woodlanders, and Carolina silverbell or the Snowdrop tree has charm in spades. A more unusual small branching tree with an informal personality clothed in attractive pink-flushed young leaves in spring that deepen to rich deep green. In May, clusters of sweetly scented white hanging bells with noticeably long stamens and sun-splashed centres adorn the boughs. Leaves mellow to tawny yellow before falling in autumn coupled with curious pale green seed pods that cling on through winter. A small tree or shrub that dependably earns its keep and always attracts admiring glances.

Happy and hardy in any decent, well-drained soil in full sun or dappled shade. Mostly trouble-free and low-maintenance, Halesia carolina can be grown as a robust pretty small tree or large shrub. A lovely addition to woodland landscapes and shrubberies underplanted with spring bulbs and ferns. Lending excellent bone structure in cottage, country, suburban and urban gardens, it also creates an eye-catching feature in lawns, wildflower meadows and wildlife gardens. A delightful upright, spreading feature tree or branching shrub that offers seasonal interest throughout the year. 4-8m x 12m

Plant our young potted trees at any time of year. Bare root trees should be planted when dormant between November and April. We supply root ball trees from October – May, the correct season for planting. Avoid planting when the ground is excessively wet or frozen. Remember, trees normally reach their ultimate height and spread within 20-50 years depending on species so give it ample growing room.

A versatile problem-free tree that needs little pruning. Trim lightly in February or March if needed, removing any unwanted crossed branches or dead, damaged and diseased stems.
