The Tokyo Tower White Fringe Tree is a year-round beauty, with a refined columnar shape and dynamic seasonal features. Abundant clusters of mildly fragrant, fluffy white flowers with fringe-like petals bloom from late spring to early summer, while dark green foliage turns bright yellow in fall. Even in winter, tan-and-gold exfoliating bark adds unique texture, while blueberry-like fruit—a favorite with birds!—adorns bare branches.
Space-Saving Beauty: With its narrow, strongly upright growth habit, Tokyo Tower is perfect for tight spaces or as a vertical accent in your landscape. It brings an upscale look to entryways, borders or smaller urban yards, without overwhelming surrounding plants.
Captivating Spring Blossoms: As spring arrives, this tree bursts into life with drooping clusters of delicate, fragrant white blooms. These airy, fringe-like flowers transform Tokyo Fringe into a vision of soft elegance while attracting beneficial pollinators, ensuring your garden stays vibrant and lively.
Year-Round Appeal: In fall, the Tokyo Tower shines with bright yellow foliage. Even after leaves fall, this tree continues to impress with unique, tan-and-gold exfoliating bark that peels away to reveal fresh textures and hues. As an added bonus, deep-blue fruit appears in fall, providing food for birds and a splash of unexpected color.
Stunning and Low Maintenance: This tree is as easy to care for as it is beautiful. Tolerant of urban air pollution, adaptable to various soil types, and requiring minimal pruning, Tokyo Tower Tree is a fantastic choice for gardeners seeking a high-impact, low-fuss feature.
