Decaisnea fargesii - This interesting tree comes from western China.
It is a taller shrub growing to approximately 3 m in height.
The strong, upright, few-branched stems are remotely reminiscent of Aralia in stature, but without thorns.
The shoots are bare, with a bluish frost. The leaves are pinnate and, given the overall size of the bush, remarkably large, growing to sizes of 40-80 cm. In autumn, they turn golden yellow.
The yellowish-green flowers are pointed and bell-shaped. It blooms at the end of May and during June.
More interesting than the unusual size of the leaves are the exotic-looking metallic blue, frosted, fleshy, cylindrical fruits about 10 cm long.
The fruits remain on the bushes even after the leaves have fallen, and with their unusual color and appearance they form a striking element that catches everyone's attention.
The habitat requires protection from cold winds and late frosts. It grows well in direct sunlight, but also tolerates partial shade.
It is suited to soils with a more acidic reaction, humus, fresh to moist, sandy-clay, well supplied with nutrients. plants 0.3m tall in a 1l pot
