OxYDENDRUM ARROREUM^ the Soi'rel-tree or Sour Wood, 
is a nalivi' of the southern Appalaehiau mountain forests 
and the only ti'ia* of tlie Ileatli Family which can be 
grown in Ibis climate, with the exception of the Laurel 
{Kdhiiia Idlifolia) and the Lose Lay illJwdodendron rnax- 
uninn) w hich are shrnlis at the north and only exception¬ 
ally tri'es in a few favored valleys of the sov-thern moun- 
lains. The Sorrel-tree in its native forests grows fifty 
or sixty feet high, but at the iiortb as it begins to flowxu’ 
abmuiantly when only a few" feet tall, it is not probable 
I hat ill this climate it will ever attain a considerable size. 
II is w(‘ll worth growing, however, for its bright green 
shining leaves which have a jileasant acidulous flavor and 
in autumn turn bright scarlet, for its white Andromeda- 
like flow ers erect on the branches of spreading or slightly 
drooping terminal clusters, and for its pale fruits wdiicli 
in the autumn are conspicuous among the brilliant 
leaves.
