Otherwise known as P. insignis, this is a magnificent new addition to our gardens and arboreta. From China comes this large, vigorous, hardy deciduous tree. One of the 'wingnuts', it bears splendid pinnate foliage to 45cm long and dangling infructescences up to a whopping 120cm! Best in a site that doesn't dry out excessively, this species doesn't sucker from the root.
