    Here's a plant for those of you who like your tea woolly. This small tree (eventually to 15') has small woolly grey-green leaves and showy white late spring flowers, and an appealing, upright but somewhat irregular growth habit. Vigorous and easy to grow, it will handle temperatures down to about 10 – 15 °F, lower in hot climates.
