Triadica Sebifera (syn. Sapium sebiferum) Chinese Tallow

Triadica sebifera, also known as Chinese tallow tree or popcorn tree, is a deciduous tree native to China and cultivated worldwide for its ornamental and economic value. It features glossy green leaves that turn vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn, creating a spectacular seasonal display. In late summer, the tree produces clusters of small, white flowers followed by waxy white seeds, resembling popcorn. Chinese tallow tree thrives in a wide range of soil types and climates, making it adaptable to various environments. However, it is considered invasive in some regions due to its prolific seed production and rapid growth.
