A very beautiful tree with slightly pendulous branches which form a deep bell shape in its maturity. The leaves are highly attractive; they are rounded, green and glossy above, white felted beneath. They move and shift in the breeze to pleasing effect. The creamy white flowers are intensely fragrant, appearing in July and August. This tree grows to be very large and needs to be planted in a space that allows for this; it makes a fantastic screening tree and an equally good windbreak.
