A handsome tree from China, growing to 75 for warm zones. Easily grown from seed and can be kept pruned to desired size indoors with ample warmth and bright light. If cut back to ground level it seems to grow back even faster. Attractive ovate leaves have prominent venation. This tree produces a drug called "Camptothesin" that has shown considerable potential in cancer research. Cover the seed with 1/2" of soil mixture. Water when dry to the touch.
