Oxydendrum arboreum
It's a deciduous understory tree tha. Gray bark on mature trees is fissured, ridged and scaly. Finely-toothed, glossy green leaves are reminiscent of peach. Leaves have a sour taste, hence the common name. Leaves produce consistently excellent fall color, typically turning crimson red. Waxy, lily-of-the-valley-like, white flowers bloom on slender, drooping, one-sided terminal panicles in early summer.
