Fringe tree grows slowly and may be hard to transplant. The tree tolerates city conditions but does not tolerate much pruning. Leaves emerge later in the spring than those of most plants, and the fall color is yellow. The flowers can be forced into early bloom indoors. The white flowers are in hanging clusters and are present in May and June.
Female plants develop blue fruits after the blooms fall.
