Sycopsis sinensis – Sycopsis sinensis

View prices and availability
Sycopsis sinensis is an evergreen tree with an ovoid crown up to about 6 m in height. In the wild, the tree grows slightly taller. The smooth bark is dark grey-brown and the slightly warty twigs are dark brown. They bear fairly narrow, evergreen leaves, which are glossy dark green and leathery to the touch. In late winter, the flowers open, consisting of bundles of red stamens enclosed by felty-haired, dark brown petals. As the stamens mature, the pale yellow pollen becomes visible. The flowers contrast nicely with the dark, evergreen foliage.
The distinct flowering in late winter and the fact that the tree is evergreen make Sycopsis sinensis a striking and unique tree. The tree has the same soil requirements as Hamamelis. Any sufficiently moist but well-drained neutral to acidic soil will do. The tree tolerates air pollution. Although Sycopsis sinensis is fairly wind-resistant, this species does not tolerate severe frost. Planting in a somewhat sheltered location is therefore necessary.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
