The Sourwood Tree should be the shade tree of choice for anyone who seeks vibrant red fall leaves which rival even the maple. Sourwood trees bloom in late Summer and are known to retain flowers even after leaves change, adding beautiful highlights to the tree's scarlet crown. Sourwood flower clusters droop and contain nectar for bees later in the season, when other plants have stopped blooming. Honey made from Sourwood Trees is a delicacy and can be very hard to find.

In the late Summer, drooping clusters of fragrant Lily-of-the-Valley-like white flowers add an interesting and unique look to the Sourwood Shade Tree.

In the Fall months, the leaves of the Sourwood Shade Tree turn the brightest red of any other shade tree.
