Snowbell (Styrax sp.)
Snowbell trees are not often found in the home landscape and they should be much more popular. They are a medium sized tree with lovely flowers in the late spring, some fall color, and interesting bark in the winter. They are particularly handy in a smaller yard. Pass the word.
