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. New foliage emerges covered in fine hair and starts deep red, turning through soft brown to green. Male and female flowers on separate plants, the females in large creamy panicles. For any lime free soil in sun or semi-shade.
