Leslie Jean Patterson on Oct 03, 2016It's commonly called a Fringe Tree. Most likely not available this time of year. Chionanthus virginicus is it's scientific name. Native to the Savannahs. I would contact my local tree nursery. You can also purchase them online if you don't mind the tree being smaller. Yes the leave fall to the ground and so do the fringe flowers.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Oct 04, 2016Any shrub or tree that is not evergreen is going to fall on your mulch. They are very pretty and unique, but like any spring plant, its beauty is short lived! You might want to get a miniature red leaf maple. They can be expensive but are absolutely stunning! They are small, not much for shade, but decorative!Helpful Reply

IFortuna on Oct 04, 2016I don't have this foliage but you may be able to use a leaf blower to clean off your mulch or a mild blast with water from your hose. I am assuming the flowers will die and fall off so these solutions may work for you. good luck. : )Helpful Reply

Crystal Meyer Griffith on Oct 06, 2016This little tree is beautiful when blooming but that is a very short time and the rest of the year they are just green shrubs. Kinda blah. If you want some really nice color get the mini red leaf maple or maybe a Japanese red maple. They are much prettier trees IMHO.Helpful Reply

Sheryl Causey on Oct 08, 2016In answer to your question, the spent blooms are very thin and turn dark in a short time. They would be noticeable on black mulch just a day or so. They are delicate and almost dissolve between your fingers.Helpful Reply
