Japanese Pagoda Tree

Bring elegance and charm to your garden with the Styphnolobium japonicum Regent, also known as the Japanese Pagoda Tree. A fast-growing, deciduous beauty, this tree forms a wide, rounded canopy filled with fine, glossy leaves that create soft, dappled shade through summer. Its rich, dark green foliage emerges in late spring, transitioning to a lovely pale yellow in autumn for a striking seasonal display. 

In late summer, this specimen adds another layer of beauty with clusters of fragrant, creamy-white flowers that bloom at an earlier age than other varieties, sometimes in as few as five years. These flowers are followed by slender, green seed pods that turn a deep brown and persist into winter, creating year-round interest. 

Perfect for sunny, sheltered locations, Styphnolobium japonicum Regent thrives in the warmer areas of the UK, particularly in the south and in urban settings. This hardy tree adapts well to well-draining soils and only needs a light prune every ten years to maintain its graceful shape. Choose the Japanese Pagoda Tree 'Regent' to enjoy stunning foliage, elegant blooms, and a touch of cultural heritage in your outdoor space.
