    Nice, five to nine leafletted evergreen from southeast Asia collected by famous plants hunters Bleddyn and Sue Wynn-Jones. Exciting and unusual. Can be pinched for a compact shrub or pruned as a small tree and allowed to reach its full height of 10-15' over time. Best in partial shade with rich soil and regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 9B. A fine pot specimen where temperatures drop into the low 20 °F.
