Field Notes

Description:

Small round shaped compact tree full of small clusters of white flowers. The blooms are lovely but smell acrid.

Urban.

Notes:

This tree is a hybrid horticulturists are now discouraged from using as it tends to spread and grow thorny offshoots which have become a nuisance.
