In Spring, the emerging pinnate leaves open in a wonderous display of bright flamingo-pink, gradually morphing to creamy-yellow and soft pink-white before maturing to a lush, glossy dark green in Summer. By Autumn, the foliage turns a rich butter-yellow. The leaves emit a distinctive, sweet aromatic fragrance when crushed, and young tender shoots are widely cultivated in Asian cuisine as a savoury vegetable. Over time, it forms an upright, architectural tree with attractive peeling, flaking bark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1251\" data-start=\"1242\"\u003eSite:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tolerates some mild exposure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1328\" data-start=\"1319\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist but well-drained, fertile\u003cbr data-end=\"1363\" data-start=\"1360\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1376\" data-start=\"1363\"\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun for the best leaf colouration; shelter from severe winds\u003cbr data-end=\"1420\" data-start=\"1417\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1443\" data-start=\"1420\"\u003eSeason of interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring to Autumn for excellent coloured foliage\u003cbr data-end=\"1488\" data-start=\"1485\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-is-only-node=\"\" data-end=\"1502\" data-start=\"1488\"\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy\u003cbr data-end=\"1517\" data-start=\"1514\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1528\" data-start=\"1517\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–12m (26–39ft) \u003cstrong data-end=\"1559\" data-start=\"1548\"\u003eSpread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-6 m (13–20ft)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImage 1 -3 by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/33037982@N04\/\"\u003eLeonora (Ellie) Enking\u003c\/a\u003e cropped and licensed under\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eCC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"coverphoto-actions\" id=\"yui_3_18_1_1_1791284263736_65941\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Future Forests","offers":[{"title":"Pot | 3L","offer_id":55308272828743,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2750\/6590\/files\/Toonasinensis1.jpg?v=1791299932","url":"https:\/\/futureforests.ie\/products\/toona-sinensis","provider":"Future Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
