Mallotus japonicus

A great foliage plant for a reasonably sheltered position (though perfectly hardy), this very rarely encountered large deciduous shrub or small tree from the Far East is principally grown for its handsome leaves and elegantly spreading, flat topped canopy form. New foliage emerges covered in fine hair and starts deep red, turning through soft brown to green, then bright yellow in autumn. Male and female flowers on separate plants, the females in large creamy panicles. For any lime free soil in sun or semi-shade.
