Carolina Silverbell

Carolina silverbell is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to southeastern United States. A mature plant can reach up to 40 feet tall. During mid-spring delicate white or pale pink, bell-shaped flowers dangle from branches. Fruit are four-winged nut-like structures that serve as a good food source for squirrels.
