Idesia polycarpa – Long Panicles

Exceptionally long dangling bunches of bright red pea-like fruit on females in autumn, up to 60cm(!!) in this form. A small deciduous Eastern Asian hardy tree with spreading branches clothed in impressive, large, red stalked, heart-shaped foliage, glaucous beneath. Male flowers are pinky-brown in pendant racemes and sweetly scented. Suitable for any good soil. Plant more than one to get males and females together and the chance of fruit.
