Chinese Wingnut – Pterocarya stenoptera Tree Seeds | 30 Seeds | Rare Fast Growing Shade Tree | Showy Winged Fruit | Urban Tolerant Specimen

Grow a bold and uncommon landscape tree with these Chinese Wingnut (Pterocarya stenoptera) seeds. This rare, fast-growing deciduous shade tree develops a wide-spreading canopy with strong horizontal branching and dramatic hanging clusters of winged seeds.

In late spring to early summer, long green “necklaces” of winged nutlets cascade beneath the branches, creating a striking ornamental display. As they mature, the seed clusters turn brown and fall in autumn. With its large compound leaves and rapid growth rate, Chinese Wingnut quickly establishes generous shade, making it ideal for parks, estates, and large properties.

This 30-seed pack is perfect for growers looking to establish multiple trees for shade rows, landscape projects, or rare tree collections.
