The 'Black Pearl' is admired for its intensely dark-purple, heart-shaped foliage. Beautiful lavender blossoms cover the entire tree in early spring, and foliage appears soon after blooms have fallen. This variety will get 15-20' tall and 20-25' wide at full maturity. They are shade tolerant, but the foliage color will be much more vivid when planted in full sun.
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.
