      Plant Information

      Characteristics: Just one species, Heptacodium micoinoides exists. Honeysuckle-scented white flowers bloom in late summer to early fall. Purplish-red fruit follows, covered by sepals that change from green to bright pink and add ornamental appeal.

      Green lance-shape leaves turn gold before dropping in autumn. Interesting bark peels off in long strips and the tree has a graceful sinuous shape in maturity.

      Size: Grows 15–20′ tall x 8–10′ wide, making a nice small tree.

      Culture: Sun or part shade, not fussy about soil type. If it’s planted in a very hot spot, water deeply (45 minutes with a soaker hose) every other week in summer—if planted in a cooler shadier area it may be fine without extra water once established.

      Hardy zone 5 (-20f)

      Problems: Usually pest & disease free.
