Chionanthus virginicus
Grancy Greybeard
Come and experience the enchanting finale of our native fringe tree's blossoms. This tree's root bark was a trusted remedy for cleansing wounds and soothing sores by the Cherokee and other indigenous people of our region. Today, its legacy lives on in modern herbal medicine, where decoctions, infusions, and extracts derived from its roots are prized for their efficacy in treating a spectrum of liver and gallbladder conditions. Apart from its medicinal uses, it is also prized for attracting pollinators and being the larval host for the rustic sphinx moth.
