A beautiful tree with really tasty leaves! Otherwise known as the Chinese Mahogany tree, this deciduous, often multi-stemmed variety has pretty, salmon red leaves turning green in summer and white flowers. What is little known is that you can eat the leaves and they taste exactly like beef and onion crisps! Their young tender leaves can be eaten raw in salads or cooked in stir-frys and can also be dried and used as a seasoning.
Final height 8 – 12 meters in 10 – 20 years if planted in the ground.

Sow at any time of the year. Sow in pots of moist, peat free compost at a depth of 1cm and place in a propagator or warm place. Maintain an optimum temperature of 20-25C and germination should take place in 30 days, but could take longer so remain patient.
Overwinter at a temperature down to 5C. Harden off saplings and plant out when all risk of frost has passed in a sunny spot with well drained soil.
