Halesia diptera, commonly known as
two-winged silverbell, is a small deciduous tree or large shrub that is native
to floodplains, stream banks, wet woods and swampy areas primarily along the
Gulf Coast from South Carolina and northern Florida west to Texas. It grows with
a rounded form to 20-30’ tall. Showy clusters (3 to 6 flowers per cluster) of
bell-shaped white flowers (less than 1″ wide) with deeply lobed petals
appear in spring (April-May). Flowers are followed by flattened two-winged
fruits (dry drupes to 2” long) that ripen in fall. Oval to obovate, irregularly
toothed, dark green leaves (4-8” long). Leaves turn yellow in fall. Bark
exfoliates in thin scales.
