This fast-growing deciduous tree is prized for its reddish-purple young leaves, which emerge in spring and add vivid color to landscape borders or small yards. Its open, rounded canopy provides good dappled shade, and the mature tree can reach an impressive height, making it a distinctive specimen plant for temperate gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\nEnjoy the versatile appeal of this ornamental tree: the tender new leaves and shoots are traditionally used as a flavorful culinary green in Asian dishes, often stir-fried or used fresh to add a garlicky, onion-like note. Plant it in a sunny spot with well-drained soil, and it will develop a robust, upright growth habit over the seasons. This is a seedling-starting variety, so expect to provide a few years of growth before the tree reaches full landscape size; it also performs well as a container plant when pruned. As the tree matures, its furrowed bark adds winter interest.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Toona sinensis\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Chinese Toon\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous tree seed\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, open canopy\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, loamy\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable (ornamental\/culinary tree)\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 5-10\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep, keep moist and warm (68-75°F), germination in 2-6 weeks\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Start indoors in early spring or direct sow after last frost; provide consistent moisture\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: Plant 15-20 feet apart in the landscape\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Young leaves best harvested in spring; tree benefits from regular watering during establishment\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663138619528,"sku":"EXGA-469","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_4da2a9a1-307b-46b4-aca0-1b4e57ab594a.png?v=1791895818","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-toona-sinensis-seeds-chinese-toon-tree-red-buds","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
