Franklinia alatamaha

A native that we have in Glenmoore, My parent’s had a very large tree in Berwyn and a neighbor of ours in Bryn Mawr also had as a mature tree.  You can see specimens of it at the front of the Barnes Arboretum in Merion. This is a young tree, blooming for the first     time this year. We planted it about three years ago on a southern hillside: Thrilled!

And beautiful fall color too!!
