A beautiful deciduous conifer which is native to China. It was thought to be extinct until 1941.
It forms a tall, conical tree with green fern-like foliage and shaggy reddish-brown bark.
In autumn the whole tree turns bright pinkish-orange, one of the most spectacular autumn trees to be seen.
It makes an elegant specimen for a park or a large lawn area.
Loved by bonsai enthusiasts.
