Snowbell Tree

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.

Choices of Snowbell Tree
Species Size Basic Requirements
Japanese Snowbell (Styrax japonicus) At 20 years the height is 15’ with a spread of 15’. Mature height is 25 to 40’ with a spread of 15 to 30’. Growth rate is slow to medium. White flowers in late spring to early summer. Zones (5) 6 through 8, full sun in north and partial shade in the south, well drained acidic soil
Fragrant Snowbell (Styrax obassia) Mature height is 20 to 30’ with a spread of 15 to 25’. Growth rate is moderate. White flowers in late spring to early summer. Zones (5) 6 through 8, full sun in north and partial shade in the south, well drained acidic soil
