The Sourwood is wonderful as a focal point in the landscape, or planted in front of taller trees for interest.

The Sourwood Tree offers you so many great characteristics, it's no wonder why it's so popular.

In summer, fragrant clusters of beautiful white flowers appear. Few trees show blooms this vibrant during the dead of summer.

Deep, glossy green leaves turn to rusty orange and scarlet in the autumn months… the deepest scarlet hue of any shade tree!

How many trees can boast so many beautiful attributes all at once?

The Sourwood is resistant to pests and diseases. Widely adaptable to various soil types, and relatively cold hardy. Looks great in any yard!

Let the Sourwood Tree lend its beauty to your yard this year.

Your Sourwood Tree can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your Sourwood Tree
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Sourwood Tree. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Sourwood Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Sourwood Tree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
