Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This handsome 20-30' multi-stemmed tree comes from the streams and mixed woods of western China. A lovely specimen noteworthy for its delightfully large, (4-7") leaves. The foliage features conspicuous veins and somewhat wavy margins. Beautiful, airy clusters of creamy-white summer blooms mature into small blue-black drupes. This makes a wonderful and rare addition to the landscape. S-PSh/M
