Alangium platanifolium |
Native Region: China
Zone Range: 7-11
Preferred Climate: Full to semi sun; well draining humus rich acidic soils
Harvest Date: Sunday 22 January, 2012
Seed count: 5-7
Description:
A unique multistemmed shrub with lovely Plane tree like leaves and flowers which start off as white fluted column then open up to little ballerinas with perfectly circular skirts and yellow legs. Fleshy metalic sky blue fruits follow in the fall. 3 metres tall with a 4 meter spread.
Cultivation:
Not much is known but this seed has never been allowed to dry. We've cleaned, washed and kept in cold stratification since collection. It could be ready to germinate and from what I've read from Deno's First Supplement to his Second Edition, it could start sprouting in 2-5 weeks under warm 20-22C conditions.
