Description

The parasol tree, native of southeast China to Japan and a member of the chocolate family, is vigorous, reaching 20-30 ft in the garden with huge leaves — 18” to even 2 ft across, like giant maple leaves – and few but thick branches on a stout trunk of bright green bark. Perfect for the tropical garden. Small, greenish flowers and lemon-yellow fall colorare added attractions. Prefers evenly moist soil and good drainage in sun to part shade with a little organic matter and regular summer moisture. Though somewhat drought tolerant, the leaves would be smaller. Too seldom offered. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 with many specimens found growing in zone 7. A freezeback plant in USDA zone 6.
