Sourwood grows from Raleigh north into the mountains. It produces a light
flavorful honey.
The sourwood flow has ceased in the Wilksboro area and will be over at
higher elevations by the end of next week.
It seems to grow below 4000 ft and is a slow growing succession tree
following logging and cannot compete in a mature forest situation. I many
areas it has been almost eliminated as it will not produce good timber. Most
of the trees have been used as sled runners  in the past. The wood is very
hard and burns well. This results in most folks considering it a 'weed" tree
and using it for firewood
