Striking, medium sized tree with large, divided, exotic looking leaves that emerge with a reddish tinge then turn rich green. Pretty, fragrant, green-white flowers appear in summer, hanging in dense, drooping panicles followed by fruits which stay on the tree into winter.   All parts of the tree are scented and the wood is burnt in temples in Asia to infuse them with its delicate fragrance. Toona wood is also excellent for furniture as it is durable and easy to work with.

Fabulous as a specimen garden tree - something very different!

GROWING GUIDE

Pre-sowing Treatment: Soak the seeds in tepid water for 24 hours.

Sowing Instructions: Sow at any time of the year. Sow very thinly in trays or pots of moist seed compost at a depth of 3mm and place in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag. Maintain an optimum temperature of 20-25C and germination should take place in 30 days, but could take longer.

Growing Instructions: Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm pots. Overwinter at a temperature of about 5C. Harden off and plant out when all risk of frost has passed in a sunny spot with well drained soil.
