Tetradium daniellii

A neglected but invaluable fast growing small to medium sized hardy tree from the Far East. Corymbs of flowers borne in late summer/early autumn, creamy white, pungently scented and attractive to all manner of beneficial insects, giving way to fat clusters of very conspicuous deep-red seed capsules as the leaves turn to light yellow. Attractive pinnate leaves and smooth grey bark. For most sites and soils.
