We’re focusing on Koelreuteria paniculata. We grow Koelreuteria paniculata in both tree and shrub forms at our nursery. As a tree, Koelreuteria paniculata grows in a strikingly irregular manner, forming a loose, rounded crown. As it matures, the crown often spreads out wider.
Koelreuteria paniculata, whether grown as a tree or a shrub, looks great in parks and on (smaller) green spaces. Because of its modest size, the tree is also well-suited for planting in a plaza or on a green strip along a wider street.
In July and early August, the tree blooms beautifully with yellow panicles that reach a length of about 30 cm. During flowering, the tree is, as it were, covered in a magnificent display of yellow flowers, which are very attractive to bees. Shortly after or during the final bloom, the attractive fruit clusters appear. The fruits are very attractive and resemble lanterns that change color from greenish-pale to red over the course of the summer. Each lantern contains three black seeds that are used in China to make garlands.
