Sourwood Tree Seedlings
Sourwood Tree Seedlings: Oxydendrum arboreum, the North American native sourwood tree, is a deciduous species from the hardwood forests of the southeastern United States.
The sourwood tree is a more petite species, reaching a fully mature height of twenty to thirty feet. TN Nursery suggests sourwood tree seedlings for customers who need a tree that will be handsome but without overpowering the entire space.
Some gardeners call the sourwood tree sorrel tree or lily-of-they-valley tree. Same tree, different nicknames.
