If you've ever seen thicket of TiTi along streams or swamps of the southeast, you had to have been taken back by the wonderful fragrance of the late spring-early summer flowers, or the gorgeous red or orange fall leaf color, or the beautiful, irregular, twisting, contorted branching patterns. This is truly a shrub for all seasons. Growing in moist or wet places in the southeast, TiTi is a small, graceful tree or shrub (10-15 feet tall) with a rounded shape. Its creamy white flowers are in 3 to 6 inch long drooping clusters. Bees love them and the honey of TiTi is harvested commercially. In the south, it holds its deep green leaves all winter but loses them further north. This would make a lovely tree for a bright moist place. Cat# 1338
