Grow a rare and spectacular ornamental with Igiri Tree (Idesia polycarpa), also known as Chinese Wonder Tree. This fast-growing, broad pyramidal deciduous tree is prized for its dramatic foliage, fragrant spring flowers, and vibrant berry clusters that provide striking fall and winter interest.

Large heart-shaped leaves emerge bronze-purple before maturing to glossy deep green above with silvery blue-white undersides. The bold foliage is carried on red leaf stalks, adding extra ornamental appeal. In April and May, fragrant yellow-green flowers bloom in panicles up to 12 inches long.

By fall, female trees produce abundant grape-like clusters of berries that transition from purple-red to brilliant orange-red before darkening with age. The berries are edible and highly attractive to birds, making this an excellent wildlife tree. The colorful fruit display stands out beautifully against blue winter skies and snow-covered branches.

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

This 600-seed bulk pack is ideal for wildlife plantings, restoration projects, larger landscapes, nurseries, or growers seeking reliable berry-producing trees.

You will receive:
✔️ 600 Igiri Tree seeds
✔️ Botanical name: Idesia polycarpa
✔️ Fresh, untreated seeds
✔️ Labeled seed packet with sowing instructions
