Hi Gene,
Thanks for the info. Can you tell me where you obtained your sourwood? We
haven't had much luck around here. Is Brehob where you're getting the
Winter King hawthorn? I don't think they carry sourwood. Maybe too far
north. I know we are at the very edge of the hardiness zone for this tree,
but we want it. 25' seems the perfect height for a yard tree.
I must say, the hawthorns sure are gorgeous this time of year!

I have a 6' Winter King to be delivered next month for planting.
Landscaper is bringing it down from Indy. no mention is have been made of
the scent. We are getting this one for winter color and to feed the birds.
Just planted a Sourwoods last month and the little tree has now turned
color. If you can have only three trees, the sourwood has to be one of
them. definitely a 3 season tree, relatively slow grower and small in size
at maturity... about 25 feet I am told. Be a long time reaching that
height.
