Pot Size: 12 litre Price: £85.00 Description: Forming large ancient trees in the wild, with oblong-elliptic remotely serrated foliage 13cm long with acuminate tips on red petioles, the ground surrounding them strewn with their large sausage-shaped woody seed in autumn. The result of the abundant panicles of the Styrax-like (but larger) flowers borne in March-April. Nicknamed as Styrax on steroids here, they have proved to be difficult and expensive to introduce taking as long as 5 years to germinate. One of our most impressive introductions that has proved to be unflinching in its hardiness here. Best grown with other trees and shrubs when young, in a moisture retentive possibly acidic to neutral drained fertile soil.
