Carolina Silverbell 1 Live Tree – Halesia tetraptera – 3 Gallon Pot

Carolina Silverbell (Halesia tetraptera) is a deciduous ornamental tree native to the southeastern United States, admired for its delicate white, bell-shaped flowers that hang gracefully from the branches in spring. The blossoms create a distinctive seasonal display, often appearing as new foliage begins to emerge.

This native flowering tree features attractive green leaves, a naturally branching growth habit, and ornamental four-winged fruits that may persist after flowering. Its elegant appearance makes it well suited to woodland gardens, native landscapes, shaded garden edges, and ornamental specimen plantings.

Supplied as one live Carolina Silverbell tree in a 3 gallon nursery pot, this species generally performs best in partial shade to full sun with moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is particularly suited to landscapes with adequate moisture and protection from prolonged drought.
