Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Wheel Tree, bush form. Selected by Polly Hill. This native to Japan, Taiwan and Korea is sometimes found growing as an epiphyte on Cryptomeria tree trunks, but usually can be seen as a tree, 60 to 80 feet tall in the wild. In cultivation 20 to 30 feet is more common. The form listed here has stayed at 3 to 4 feet for us and makes a striking specimen in a tub. Its spirally arranged leathery leaves are bright apple-green with scalloped margins. Its common name "Wheel Tree" comes from the way the stamens radiate from the center of the flower like the spokes of a wheel.
