Chinese Wingnut – Pterocarya stenoptera Tree Seeds | 60 Seeds | Rare Fast Growing Shade Tree | Showy Winged Fruit | Urban Tolerant Specimen

Establish a bold and uncommon shade canopy with these Chinese Wingnut (Pterocarya stenoptera) seeds. This rare, fast-growing deciduous tree is known for its wide-spreading branches, impressive size, and long cascading chains of winged seeds that create a dramatic ornamental display.

In late spring and early summer, striking green “necklaces” of winged nutlets hang beneath the branches, later maturing and dropping in autumn. With its large compound leaves and rapid growth rate, Chinese Wingnut quickly creates generous shade, making it ideal for parks, estates, wind-exposed sites, and large landscape projects.

This 60-seed pack is perfect for larger planting projects, shade rows, restoration efforts, or rare tree collections.
