The May Day Tree is appropriately named as its pendulous white flowers, many nearly 5″ long, appear in that month after setting its dark green leaves. The flowers have a unique, almost almond scent. For those who wish to attract birds to their landscape, the May Day Tree is a perfect choice to include in your landscape design. The cherry-black fruit is borne after the flowers, is approximately 1/4″, and is adored by birds. It reaches a height of 25′, spreads to about 20′ in Colorado and is hardy to zone 3. While preferring a bit more moisture, it is tolerant of most well-drained soils. It is generally available as a single stem or multi-stem tree. Hardy and reliable, the May Day Tree is an asset to any bird-loving gardener.
