Discover the enchanting beauty of Staphylea japonica, commonly known as Korean Sweetheart Tree, a rare gem introduced by the esteemed J.C. Raulston Arboretum. This hardy perennial shrub or small tree reaches heights of 12 to 20 feet and belongs to the bladdernut, or Staphyleaceae family. Originating from the Korean Peninsula and introduced in 1985, this tree captivates with its distinctive violet-chocolate bark adorned with elegant white stripes, creating a striking visual, especially in winter.

Ideal for growth in medium moisture, well-drained sandy or loam soils, Korean Sweetheart Tree thrives in full sun to part shade, showcasing its resilience in various climates. Although drought-tolerant, it prefers consistent moisture for optimal performance. With an open, irregular branch formation, its foliage transforms into a unique mahogany hue in fall. While its May and June flowers are subtle, they give way to vibrant cherry-red, heart-shaped seed capsules that reveal jet-black seeds, adding a dramatic touch to any landscape. Whether as a captivating standalone piece or part of a diverse garden, Korean Sweetheart Tree is a true botanical treasure.
