species: Pieris genus
common name: andromeda
family: Ericaceae
where & when encountered: Old Westbury, NY - 1960's
I grew up with these tall shrubs with creamy flowers but did not know them by name till maybe the 1990's. They are native to both North America and Asia and widely cultivated for landscaping. I'm not sure if these are native or imported but I do know that they are as old as I am. They are probably Pieris japonica.
