Sourwood, a North American native tree, is a charming addition to any landscape. Its glossy green leaves turn vibrant shades of red and purple in the fall, creating a stunning display. In summer, it produces delicate, fragrant white flowers that attract bees and butterflies, supporting local pollinators. The tree's unique bark adds year-round interest, making it a standout feature in gardens. Sourwood is not only beautiful but also beneficial to the ecosystem, providing habitat and food for wildlife.

Plant sourwood in well-drained, acidic soil with a pH of 4.5 to 6.5. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize in early spring with an acid-loving plant fertilizer. Prune in late winter to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches. Protect young trees from strong winds.
