September 8 - 14 - Seven Son Flower Tree

Native to China, the Seven Son Flower Tree is just coming into bloom in Court 20 on the Medford Campus.  This tree thrives in either full sun or partial shade, and has found a lovely home in Court 20.   In addition, it has no serious disease or insect problems. This multi-stem tree grows 15-20 feet in height. Its fragrant white blooms appear in August, lasting for several weeks. These are replaced with pink calyxes and reddish-purple fruit that last through the fall.  You'll be sure to enjoy this end of summer bloom.
