Oxydendrum arboreum
Sourwood
Sourwood has strands of bell-shaped white flowers in mid to late summer and brilliant red fall foliage. Oxydendrum arboreum is a wonderful tree for honeybees, producing excellent flavored honey. Leaves have a sour taste, hence the common name. This is a multi-season beauty from the Ericaceae. Try planting it with other acid loving plants like Azaleas and Rhododendrons.
