Description
Huodendron tibeticum A rarely cultivated broad-leaved evergreen tree in the Styracaceae (Japanese Snowbell family). This forms an upright tree with incredibly smooth bark, from the twigs to the base of the trunk – very striking, even as a large, mature tree. Native to the Sino-Himalaya this rare tree has shiny evergreen foliage with terminal panicles of small, but fragrant, white flowers. Reported as hardy in a handful of gardens in SE USA so showing some promise in cultivation. Our specimen has been untouched by heat or cold since it was planted out several years ago. (0?)
