Triadica Sebifera (Chinese Tallow Tree) is a fast-growing deciduous tree valued for its vibrant seasonal colour and adaptability. Its heart-shaped green leaves turn brilliant shades of red, orange and yellow in autumn, creating a striking display. In summer, it produces small yellow-green flowers followed by waxy white fruit capsules, adding unique texture to the landscape.
At 1.5 metres high, this young specimen is developing strong vertical growth and a balanced framework. Once mature, it typically reaches 8–10 metres in height with a broad, rounded canopy. Ideal for larger gardens or open spaces, it performs well in a range of soil types and tolerates heat, humidity, and light frost. An excellent choice for shade, seasonal interest, and ecological diversity.
