(Trochodendraceae)

Trochodendron aralioides from Taiwan - RWJ9845

Pot Size: 10 litre
Price: £50.00
Description:
From a collection we gathered with Dick Hayward at Tayuling, Eastern Taiwan in 2003 at 2655m. A much faster growing form than the conventional Japanese, capable of attaining 2m within a few years (10 from Japan). A remarkable long-lived evergreen shrub-small tree, to 18m tall in the wild but much less in the garden. Coming into its own in the winter months when other evergreens are looking bedraggled, this can be outstanding in its fresh glossy apple-green foliage. Easily grown in most fertile soils except shallow chalk, in sun or shade.
