Clethra Flowering Tree
Clethra Flowering Tree
Clethra Acuminata Flowering Tree
Pointed-leaved Pepper Tree. Carolina, 1806. This is not so hardy as Clethra alnifolia, hailing from the Southern States of North America, but with a little protection is able to do battle with the average English winter. It resembles Clethra alnifolia, except in the leaves, which are sharp pointed, and like that species delights to grow in damp positions. The flowers are white and drooping, and the growth more robust than is that of Clethra alnifolia generally. For planting by the pond or lake-side, the Pepper Trees are almost invaluable.
Clethra Alnifolia Flowering Tree
Alder-leaved Pepper Tree. North America, 1831. A rather
stiff-growing shrub of about 5 feet in height, with leaves resembling
those of the common Alder, and bearing towards the end of July spikes
of almost oppressively fragrant dull-white flowers at the tips of the
branches. It is a valuable shrub, not only in an ornamental way, but on
account of it thriving in damp, swampy ground, where few others could
exist, while at the same time it will succeed and flower freely in almost any good garden soil.
