Sourwood

Have you seen these trees blooming? Maybe you have smelled them, especially early in the day when the air is heavy. I usually smell them first, then look around to see if there are Sourwood trees close by. It's a very distinctive scent.
It is Sourwood, Oxydendrum arboreum, and is quite common in our woods. They are small trees, growing 30-60 feet tall, and blooming now.
Look around, you will probably see a few on your walks or drives.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
