Chionanthus RetususAlso known as: Chinese Fringe tree
This beautiful tree is native to China, Korea and Japan and is very similar to the native U.S. species (C. virginicus). For this reason, we have sourced this particular seed directly from Asia, so there is no confusion.
It tends to be slow growing and will usually only reach a mature height of about 20 feet, with up to a 15-foot spread. This Chinese version is more tree-like and graceful than its straggly American cousin, C. virginicus, and is overall a tidier and tougher plant. It is much more tolerant to drought. It will also fruit solo, which the North American native will not do.
Fringe trees lose their leaves in the winter, but in late spring your tree's glossy green leaves will return. Delicate, lightly fragrant white flowers cover these trees for about two weeks during the spring. Native and pygmy fringe trees flower before new leaves emerge in spring, while Chinese fringe tree blooms at the end of the spring growth flush. In late summer and early fall, they will produce an olive-like fruit that is not edible to humans but is highly attractive to birds.
It is ideal for planting in urban areas due to their pollution tolerance and ability to adapt to a range of soil types. They are are not ideal for the coast however, as they are not salt tolerant. These trees rarely need pruning thanks to a naturally strong branch structure. While they are young, you can prune it to a single trunk or a standard multi-trunked form.
They do not transplant well, so keep this in mind when you are selecting a planting site for your tree. The foliage will look best when the tree is grown in some shade, but flowering will be best in full sun areas. The ideal location for this species is an area where it will receive sunlight through most of the day and some shade during the afternoon. Once established, they require very little maintenance. USDA zone 5-9.
This offer is for 10 seeds.

2 stars
Size: 11.5, Color: Ironstone Canvas/Ivory
Not very good quality. They are comfortable but they make this weird clicking sound when I walk. Wouldn’t buy them again.

Another winner
Size: 13, Color: Black Canvas/Ivory
I am a big fan of Cole Haan and these are no exception. As a person normally wearing a 13 wide, I appreciate the extra room in the toebox -- with the standard size 13. As a custom insole wearer, they work great.
I will say the black laces is a safe choice, but a little boring in my opinion. I ended up switching them out with off-white laces, which I think gives them a little pop.

Sleek and casual
Size: 13, Color: Ironstone Canvas/Ivory
Very nice, light, casual and clean with the flexible and sleek sole instead of being big and clunky.

Comfy, stylish canvas shoes
Size: 9, Color: Ironstone Canvas/Ivory, Size: 9, Color: Ironstone Canvas/Ivory
Good looking lightweight canvas shoes. Great with jeans and khakis. Comfy to wear and fits as expected. The soles do squeak a bit until you break them in. One thing to note is that bottom soles have a yellowish color to it. It’s pretty obvious when wearing white socks. Otherwise good and comfy shoes. Very lightweight. Has good quality shoe strings.
