  1. The Japanese Snowbell is a small to medium-sized tree that typically reaches a height of 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters) with a spread of 15 to 25 feet (4.5 to 7.5 meters). It has a rounded crown and a graceful, spreading form. The leaves are oval-shaped, glossy, and dark green, turning yellow in the fall. In late spring or early summer, the tree produces pendulous, bell-shaped white flowers that hang in clusters, giving it its name "Snowbell."

  2. Growing Conditions: Japanese Snowbell thrives in partial shade to full sun. It prefers moist, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. It is important to provide regular watering, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist.

  3. Maintenance: Once established, Japanese Snowbell is relatively low-maintenance. Regular watering is important, especially during the first few years after planting. Mulching around the base of the tree helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning is generally not necessary, but you can remove any dead or damaged branches as needed.
