The Chinese fringe tree is a stunning specimen for both small and large yard spaces. It grows 15-20' tall and 20-25' wide, offering lots of shade for outdoor seating spaces. In late spring, the tree will be covered in white, elongated flowers that contrast against dark green foliage and have been known to glow in the moonlight.
The 'Methley' produces large clusters of sweet, purple-red plums that are great for fresh eating, cooking and preserves. This variety is a heavy producer and is quite disease resistant. Will get 10-12' tall and wide and fruit will ripen in mid-July. Fragrant white flowers emerge in early spring, adding seasonal interest.
The 'Shiro' produces large clusters of bright yellow plums with a juicy, rich flesh. This variety is a heavy producer, with fruit ripening late-July through mid-August. This variety reaches 12-15' tall and wide, but can be pruned to maintain a smaller size. Does well when pollinated by other varieties, like the 'Redheart' and 'Methley'.
