Chionanthus RetususAlso known as: Chinese Fringe tree
This beautiful tree is native to China, Korea and Japan and is very similar to the native U.S. species (C. virginicus). For this reason, we have sourced this particular seed directly from Asia, so there is no confusion.
It tends to be slow growing and will usually only reach a mature height of about 20 feet, with up to a 15-foot spread. This Chinese version is more tree-like and graceful than its straggly American cousin, C. virginicus, and is overall a tidier and tougher plant. It is much more tolerant to drought. It will also fruit solo, which the North American native will not do.
Fringe trees lose their leaves in the winter, but in late spring your tree's glossy green leaves will return. Delicate, lightly fragrant white flowers cover these trees for about two weeks during the spring. Native and pygmy fringe trees flower before new leaves emerge in spring, while Chinese fringe tree blooms at the end of the spring growth flush. In late summer and early fall, they will produce an olive-like fruit that is not edible to humans but is highly attractive to birds.
It is ideal for planting in urban areas due to their pollution tolerance and ability to adapt to a range of soil types. They are are not ideal for the coast however, as they are not salt tolerant. These trees rarely need pruning thanks to a naturally strong branch structure. While they are young, you can prune it to a single trunk or a standard multi-trunked form.
They do not transplant well, so keep this in mind when you are selecting a planting site for your tree. The foliage will look best when the tree is grown in some shade, but flowering will be best in full sun areas. The ideal location for this species is an area where it will receive sunlight through most of the day and some shade during the afternoon. Once established, they require very little maintenance. USDA zone 5-9.
This offer is for 10 seeds.

Safe, Strong Sun Protection for Little Ones!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion Twin Pack
Banana Boat 100% Mineral Kids Sunscreen has become our go-to for sunny days! I love that it’s made with natural, mineral-based ingredients and doesn’t have all the harsh chemicals. It goes on smoothly for a mineral sunscreen—yes, there’s a bit of a white cast at first, but it rubs in nicely and gives me peace of mind knowing my kids are protected with a gentle, effective formula.
We’ve used it at the beach, playground, and just running around outside, and it holds up really well. No irritation, no breakouts, and best of all—no sunburns! It’s also water-resistant, which is perfect for active little ones. I’m so glad to have found a sunscreen that checks all the boxes for safety, protection, and reliability.

Great sunblock for the whole family, not just the kids!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion Twin Pack
We love this sunblock! It goes on easily, absorbs quickly, lasts as expected (1 hour during water play, 2 hours otherwise), and isn’t sticky or uncomfortable. Blue Lizard sensitive started giving one of my kids a bad rash, so we switched to this and haven’t had a single issue!

Our family's go to sunblock
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion Twin Pack
This is my go to sunblock for my kids. It's mineral so there's obviously a white cast. I don't mind it for kids because I like seeing where I have applied so I don't miss any spots. I've never had a sunburn while using this and I'm not the best about promptly reapplying. The cream is a good thickness and softness. Not so thick and gooey that you hate the feel of it. It doesn't have a terrible smell but just like a standard mineral sunscreen smell. Does require a decent amount of washing/ gentle scrubbing to get it to come off the skin.

Seems to work well, and less toxic than many sunscreens
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion Twin Pack
I'm an avid hiker and bought this for me, trying to use less harmful chemicals. Defiantly sticks on thicker and I see residue on the interior of the car, but can clean it up. Seems to stay on well, and work well. And it's not supposed to really disappear into skin. Supposed to sit on surface more. I don't mind having white, obvious, sunscreen. I don't use it in town. Wanted kid ish safe - so it's safer for me.
