Comments:
In summer when few other trees are blooming, the franklinia is a delight with its white, fragrant, camellia-like flowers. Even in autumn when the leaves are turning to orange and red, some flowers will still be opening. It becomes rounded with age with many vertical stems originating at ground level.
