Halesia Carolina is a large, fast-growing, deciduous shrub or medium-sized tree with broad vase-shaped habit, irregular, spreading, half-open crown and grey bark. It can be grown as a multi-trunked shrub or small, understory tree. Simple, ovate, green leaves turn yellow in autumn. The attractive, pendulous, bell-shaped, white flowers bloom in spring and are followed by brown, four-winged fruits that remain hanging on branches long into winter. Halesia Carolina grows best in average, organically rich, slightly acidic, lime-free, moist but well-drained soils. It prefers partial shade, but tolerates full sun. Doesn’t have any serious pest or disease problems. Low maintenance plant, no routine pruning necessary. Resistant to frost and can withstand some wind, but doesn’t like heat and drought. Halesia Carolina is a wonderful shrub or small tree perfect as an understory plant, for shrub borders, stream banks, or woodland gardens. Great as a specimen plant for the lawn.

Arundel Arboretum is a shrub and tree retail nursery with over 40 years of experience.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
