Good fall color even on young trees.

Beautiful! Planted one last year and can't wait for it to grow - painfully slow :(

It's worth the wait. It just gets better as the year unfolds. When other trees are starting to lose it the sourwood is flowering and then the color tops off the year. You'll enjoy every year with it, good luck.

Has anyone grown Sourwood trees in Utah zone 5 that you know of?

Hanover Twp., PA(Zone 6a)

Where I live it is at the bottom of the Pocono mountains and until last year we were zone 5 and these trees are used as street trees in one town over. Give it a try.
