Styrax japonicus 'Carillon'
Japanese Snowbell (Styrax japonicus 'Carillon') is a deciduous tree native to Japan and Korea. It is an attractive landscape tree with its shiny green leaves and white bell-shaped flowers that hang gracefully from its branches in the summer. The flowers contrast beautifully with the bark of the tree which is a smooth gray-brown color. In the fall, the leaves turn a golden color with hues of yellow and orange. This variety of Japanese Snowbell grows up to 10 meters tall and spreads up to 6 meters wide. Perfectly suited to many landscapes, it is an easy-to-care-for tree and well worth the effort.

watering
Japanese snowbells should be watered regularly, about every 7 to 10 days, depending on the weather conditions. Water deeply and evenly. When it's hot and dry out, the plant will need more water more often. To check if the plant needs water, stick your finger into the soil. If it is dry up to the second knuckle, it is time to water. Avoid overwatering; if the soil is overly soggy and wet, it will cause root rot. Japanese snowbells should be planted in well-drained soil with plenty of organic material.
sunlight
Japanese snowbell (Styrax japonicus 'Carillon') should grow best in partial to full shade and requires 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. During the summer months, it grows best in a bright, sunny location away from direct heat, and during the winter, it should be located in partial shade. It is important to note that freezing temperatures can damage the plant, so it should be protected in temperatures of 28°F or below.
pruning
Japanese snowbells should be pruned in late winter or early spring before active growth begins. Prune off any dead, diseased, or damaged stems and branches, and remove any crossed, rubbing, or incorrectly placed branches. This will promote healthy, strong growth and help keep the shrub's shape.To maintain a desired shape or height, prune branches back slightly at a slight angle, making sure not to leave a stub. Cutting back 2-thirds of an overly large plant can help restore its desired form and size. However, pruning is not necessary to Japanese snowbells and should only be done if absolutely necessary.
