Sourwood, Tulip Poplar are the regional anchors for the southern Appalachians.

How is honey near Asheville different?

The southern Appalachians are defined by one tree: sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), which blooms for roughly three weeks in late June and July across the Blue Ridge slopes. Elevation does the work here, with the bloom climbing the mountain as summer warms, so timing shifts week to week across just a few miles. A single hive's range also pulls tulip poplar, clover, and wildflower, so most local jars are a snapshot of that summer's bloom rather than a single source.
