Field Identification Of Sourwood Oxydendrum arboreum
University Outreach Publication
Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum) is a native tree of the deep forest and forest edges. Sun, open well drained soil, and few competitors allow sourwood to thrive.
Finding mature sourwoods is easy because of their unique flowering structures and early fall color. Sourwood attributes given here demonstrate why it is in a genus by itself. Sourwood is one of a kind.
