Another
widely planted ornamental tree, it is valued for its attractive,
starlike and highly fragrant flowers which bloom
on shoots from the previous year. Visit the outdoor garden
at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in late May to
experience its highly fragrant blossoms. It can grow as a tree
or can be trimmed as a shrub. It is also very tolerant of air
pollution, so it does well in urban settings.
