Japanese Snowbell is a compact deciduous tree with a rounded crown and horizontal branching, and its fissured bark on mature trees exposing attract orange inner bark. The elliptical foliage is glossy and medium to dark green without notable fall color, though it can have light shades of yellow or red. Japanese Snowball is most noted for its pendular clusters of fragrant white bell-shaped flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. Grows best in full sun and rich, acidic well-drained soil.
