Two marvelous scents I omitted from my earlier e-mail are from two trees -
locusts and fringe trees. The (black) locust is indigenous to Kentucky and
I think the fringe tree is also. We had a fringe tree in our backyard (in
Leitchfield KY , zone 6) and the smell was wonderful. If anyone on the
list knows of such a tree, please share what you know with me. I am not
trying to acquire one, I just want to satisfy my curiosity, mainly as to
whether it is a native of KY.
I think it was called colloquially "Grandfather's Beard". The scent came
from the long white fringe-like blossoms which hung in profusion all over
the tree. I think it bloomed in May, but I may be confusing its bloom time
with the locust.
