Chinese Wingnut – Pterocarya stenoptera Tree Seeds | 240 Seeds | Rare Fast Growing Shade Tree | Showy Winged Fruit | Urban Tolerant Specimen

Establish a striking and fast-growing canopy with these Chinese Wingnut (Pterocarya stenoptera) seeds. This rare deciduous shade tree is valued for its rapid growth, wide-spreading branches, and dramatic cascading clusters of winged nutlets that create a unique ornamental display.

In late spring through early summer, long green “necklaces” of winged seeds hang gracefully beneath the branches, turning brown and dropping in autumn. Its large compound leaves provide dense shade during the growing season, making it an excellent choice for parks, estates, large properties, and restoration plantings. Adaptable and tolerant of wind, compacted soils, and moderate drought once established, this species performs well in spacious planting areas.

This 240-seed pack is ideal for large-scale landscape projects, park plantings, commercial developments, or reforestation efforts.
