Sourwood

to a dark pink, and the double-flowering ‘Snowflake’.

Dirr also said that the sourwood (Oxydendrum arboretum) is the south’s second-most beautiful flowering tree. It has white flowering panicles or racemes that are favorites of bees, a beautiful winter silhouette, and striking red to orange fall color.

Like the number one flowering native tree, dogwood (Cornus florida), they are a challenge to grow. They need moist, welldrained soil with plenty of organic matter, similar to what native azaleas need.

Once you implement your mosquito plan, there is plenty to love about gardening in June.

Toll Brothers and Portman Holding

REAL ESTATE presented revisions to their respective mixed-use projects at the May 11 BRIEFS meeting of the Midtown Development Review Committee (DRC). Toll Brothers and WDG Architecture presented updated plans based on feedback received last month from the DRC. The overall phased project, including a 37-story tower with 376 units and 4,900 square feet of retail, remained as previously presented. However, new modifications focused on pedestrian circulation, relocating outdoor dining, reconfiguring loading and additional screening on the parking deck. Portman Holdings and HKS returned with phase two of their project at 1020 Spring Street, a mixed-use three tower development organized around the historic H.M. Patterson & Son – Spring Hill Chapel building. The committee reviewed the latest plans for the 30-story office tower fronting on Williams Street. Both developers are expected to present revisions at upcoming DRC meetings. Trammell Crow Company and its residential subsidiary, High Street Residential, has been selected by Georgia Advanced Technology Ventures as the developer of the remaining phases of Technology Enterprise Park at Georgia Tech. The mixed-use, life science center will consist of two buildings that include 370,000 square feet of lab and office space and 280 residential apartments. Construction is slated to begin Q1 2022.
