Comment:
A deciduous member of a family of 11 species - four in North and Central America and seven in eastern and south Eastern Asia.
Seed has only very recently become available from Quingpu Paradise Horticultural Co. Ltd in Shanghai.
It is similar to but distinctive from N. sinensis which can be seen in the W.A Area Q.
Both have superb autumn colour and liking heat both should do better than further North.
