Toona sinensis 'Flamingo' Toona sinensis 'Flamingo'

Particularly striking medium-size tree growing to 10 to 15 m. Initially the tree grows slenderly upwards and has a columnar crown. At a later stage the crown spreads. The young twigs are copper-coloured and hairy. The mature bark is grey-brown with longitudinal splits later. When damaged, the bark, branches and leaves smell unpleasant. The large, paripinnate leaf consists of 20 - 26 leaf segments. These are the same shape as the species. On emerging, they are intense orange-pink, turning greenish-yellow and eventually glossy, light green. In autumn the leaf turns yellow. The small, equally unpleasant smelling flowers appear in large panicles. After the blossom, woody capsules form containing winged seeds. The flowers and fruits only appear in hot summers. A special park tree or solitary.
