     This adorable tree attracts all sorts of pollinators including butterflies, beetles, native bees, wasps and flies, and it is larval host to the Great Ash and other lepidoptera.

 

     Perhaps they're attracted to its sweetly fragrant flowers that droop in clusters of frilly fringe all over the tree in spring?  This tree is so covered with blooms in the spring it looks like a bouncy white hairdo.

 

     Birds relish the fruits, which ripen to blue-black in July through September.  White Fringe has a beautiful canopy, and its twisting branches create winter interest.

 

     White Fringe is easy to transplant and frequently grown in clumps of up to three trunks from a single base.
