Igiri Tree (Chinese Wonder) – Idesia polycarpa Seeds | 1800 Seeds | Fast Growing Ornamental Tree | Edible Berries | Wildlife Habitat

Establish a rare and highly ornamental landscape tree with Igiri Tree (Idesia polycarpa), also known as Chinese Wonder Tree. This fast-growing, broad pyramidal deciduous tree delivers exceptional multi-season interest—from bold tropical foliage to fragrant spring flowers and brilliant fall-to-winter berry displays.

Large heart-shaped leaves emerge bronze-purple before maturing to glossy deep green with striking blue-white undersides. The dramatic foliage is held on red leaf stalks, adding extra color contrast throughout the growing season. In April and May, fragrant yellow-green flowers appear in long panicles up to 12 inches in length.

By autumn, female trees produce abundant grape-like clusters of berries that shift from purple-red to vibrant orange-red before darkening with age. The berries are edible and highly attractive to birds, making this an excellent choice for wildlife habitat plantings. The fruit display is especially striking against winter skies and snowfall.

Igiri Tree is dioecious (male and female trees are separate), so multiple trees are required for reliable berry production. It is wind tolerant, adaptable to a wide range of soils, heat and drought tolerant once established, and generally resistant to pests and disease.

This 1800-seed bulk pack is ideal for restoration projects, wildlife corridors, nursery production, large landscapes, or growers wanting to establish both male and female populations.

You will receive:
✔️ 1800 Igiri Tree seeds
✔️ Botanical name: Idesia polycarpa
