Igiri Tree (Chinese Wonder) – Idesia polycarpa Seeds | 300 Seeds | Fast Growing Ornamental Tree | Edible Berries | Wildlife Favorite

Add rare beauty and multi-season interest to your landscape with Igiri Tree (Idesia polycarpa), also known as Chinese Wonder Tree. This fast-growing, broad pyramidal deciduous tree is admired for its tropical-style foliage, fragrant spring flowers, and dramatic berry displays that light up the fall and winter landscape.

Large heart-shaped leaves emerge bronze-purple before maturing to glossy deep green above with striking blue-white undersides. The leaves are held on red stalks, adding extra ornamental contrast. In April and May, fragrant yellow-green flowers bloom in long panicles up to 12 inches in length.

By autumn, female trees produce abundant clusters of grape-like berries that shift from purple-red to brilliant orange-red before darkening with age. The berries are edible and highly attractive to birds, making this an exceptional wildlife tree. The fruit display is especially stunning against winter skies or snow-covered branches.

Igiri Tree is dioecious (separate male and female trees), so multiple trees are required for berry production. It is wind tolerant, adaptable to various soil types, heat and drought tolerant once established, and generally resistant to pests and disease.

This 300-seed pack is ideal for larger landscape projects, restoration plantings, wildlife habitats, or growers wanting to establish multiple trees for reliable berry production.

✔️ 300 Igiri Tree seeds
