Nursery contributed plant descriptions
An attractive and uncommon deciduous tree, native to eastern Asia and related to walnuts, though its striking, cone-like fruits are not edible. To 15 ft tall or so, possibly reaching over 30 ft in absolutely perfect conditions, with pinnate leaves of 7-15 6" leaflets. Male flowers appear late spring to early summer in clusters of 4-8, upright catkins, yellow with pink overtones, surrounding the female flower which ripens to bright green fruit, turning dark brown and remaining throughout the winter, dispersing its winged seeds in spring. Prefers sun to part shade in moist, well-drained soil. Frost hardy to 5F, USDA zone 7b.
