Euodia hupehensis, or Bee Tree, is a small genus and a must-have for any collector with an arboretum.
Sometimes referred to as Tetradium daniellii, this is the same tree—simply the subject of an ongoing botanical naming debate. Native to China and Korea, it was introduced to the UK in 1905 and received the prestigious First Class Certificate in 1976.
Its compound leaves and panicles of small white flowers make this an attractive specimen tree that is excellent for shallow chalk soils. Bright red fruits are borne on female trees in the autumn.
The flowers are characterised by lovely yellow anthers and are pleasingly fragrant. The Autumn colour is a pale yellow.
Mature height: 12-17m
