Organic Koelreuteria Bipinnata Seeds

The name is given in honor of the botanist Joseph Gottlieb Kölreiter. Ornamental tree 4-7 meters high with a spreading crown. The leaves are graceful, feathery, large, about 40 cm long. It blooms for a long time in July-September with golden yellow flowers in large inflorescences.

After flowering, unusual swollen light green fruits are formed, which, as they ripen, acquire a bright pink color. During this period, the trees look very attractive. Sometimes on a tree you can see both flowers and fruits at the same time.

In June, against the background of dark green odd-pinnate foliage, huge bright yellow paniculate inflorescences look very impressive.

After abundant and prolonged flowering, fruit-boxes appear, resembling physalis, but with an original three-lobed shape.

At first, they are pale green, then they gradually acquire a pink color, and when they dry out, they stay on the tree all winter.

During this period, the tree looks even more unusual and decorative.

Wonderful fruits in the form of a three-winged box of different colors - from greenish to reddish-brown, similar to the lampshades of chandeliers or table lamps. However, these are some types of lampshades that are similar to the fruits of Kölreiteria.

Prefers sunny, sheltered from the wind places and loose, drained soil. Grows well in poor and dry soils. Frost-resistant up to - 25 ° С.

Resistant to urban environments, particularly suitable for outdoor gardening. It captures pollution from highways and withstands soil salinization. Undemanding to care. Kölreiteria paniculata decorate squares at intersections, plant on lawns in parks, equip playgrounds and parking lots with it. If the climate permits, the tree reaches a size sufficient to shade the sidewalks from the scorching summer sun. It is slightly affected by pests.
