Idesia polycarpa, commonly known as Ligiri or Wonder Tree, is a captivating addition to any garden, transforming landscapes with its striking features and year-round charm. This deciduous broadleaf tree, which originates from China, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, reaches an impressive height and spread of up to 50 feet, creating a majestic presence. Its large, heart-shaped leaves, up to 7 inches long, offer a lush, tropical aesthetic with their glossy deep-green hue and slightly toothed edges. During midsummer, mature trees produce fragrant yellow-green flowers in long, graceful panicles. As autumn approaches, female trees develop vibrant, pea-sized orange-red fruits in delicate, pendulous clusters, offering visual interest throughout the winter months. These berries add a splash of color and require the presence of a nearby male tree for pollination. Thriving in sun to light shade, Idesia polycarpa prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils and is hardy to USDA Zone 6. Its unique attributes make the Wonder Tree an enchanting focal point for diversifying your garden with an exotic flair.
