• CHINESE WONDER TREE Idesia Polycarpa 50 SEEDS
• Bright light gray bark on a tall, tiered-branching tree reminiscent of a birch, iigiri tree produces glamorous pendent clusters of red berries in fall and winter. Deciduous and native to central and western China and southern Japan, it has large, glossy, irregular heart-like, green leaves with whitened undersides. In early summer fragrant yellow-green flowers without petals dangle downward from the branches
• Plants are dioecious, either being male flowering or producing only female blossoms that, when pollinated, will become small round, satiny red fruits. Already beautiful to behold in late summer as the berries turn red among the leaves, it becomes more spectacular if the foliage turns yellow, although not reliably in some regions
• In winter, the architectural and horizontal branches radiate outward with resplendent stringed bunches of red berries for ornamentation
• Grow in full sun in well-drained but average to moist soils that are not alkaline. It is tolerant of nutritionally poor soils, drought and summer heat. It looks best located in a wind-protected spot among other trees, especially dark foliage conifers that will be a perfectly contrasting backdrop for the light bark and red fruits in winter. It is a terrific specimen tree for open woodlands or parks and campuses
