Description
Tetracentron sinense ex. SEH#100 This is a very rare tree in cultivation and is the only member of this genus which is itself the only member of its ancient family. The rounded-ovate deciduous leaves are bullate with a long drawn out tip and the small yellow flowers are borne in pendulous catkin-like spikes in mid-summer. The foliage changes to shades of yellow and chocolate-brown in the autumn. A beautiful species and one of the most interesting of flowering plants. Rarely seen even in arboreta. These are grown from seed collected from a tree in the RSBG grown from my collection of seed in the wild. To quote Bean “it is more than just a botanical curiosity, being handsome in foliage and a picture of great elegance and beauty”. Very special offer. (0) RSBG
