A member of the olive family, female fringetrees produce small, dark fruits that feed songbirds and small mammals. At maturity, these deciduous trees are 12-20 feet tall with about an equal spread. They are suited to sun and partial shade settings. For the Arbor Day Celebration in February, a local nursery donated the American fringetree planted at Cumming City Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus) is a small, ornamental tree native to the southeastern U.S. With features like clusters of fragrant, white flowers in the spring, golden-yellow leaves in the fall, a slow growth rate, and little need for pruning, American fringetrees are a worthy, low-maintenance addition to home landscapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":192,"featured_media":296,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[112,105],"class_list":["post-297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-anr","tag-fringetree","tag-native-trees"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/forsyth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/forsyth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/forsyth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/forsyth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/192"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/forsyth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/forsyth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":299,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/forsyth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297\/revisions\/299"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/forsyth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/forsyth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/forsyth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/forsyth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
