plant sale text:American bladdernut has small, bell-shaped greenish-white flowers in late spring that are followed by inflated dry balloon-like fruits. Its foliage is handsome throughout the growing season. It is an upright shrub that usually has greater height than width when it reaches maturity. Though if allowed to sucker it may form a colony. Easy to grow although not often offered for sale. It grows relatively quickly, especially in moist soils, and has few disease or insect problems.
