Chionanthus virginicus

Often called "Grancy Graybeard" or "Old Man's Beard" for its very unique white, clustered blossoms that bloom later in spring. This slow-growing understory small tree of pine-oak forests has deciduous dark green foliage and grows throughout the south. The fruit is valuable as a wildlife food for birds, quail, turkey and mammals. The bark has medicinal use as a diuretic and fever remedy.
