Fringe Tree
Honeybees forage on fringe tree for nectar and pollen from its fragrant white flowers, which bloom from April to June with peak activity in May. This supports bee colonies during late spring but does not typically produce surplus honey. As a slow-growing native tree, it requires minimal management, though planting both male and female trees ensures seed production for broader ecosystem support.
