Grow a unique and flavorful edible tree with this live Toona sinensis, also known as Fragrant Spring Tree, 香椿, 椿芽, or チャンチン. Shipped in a 1-gallon nursery pot and ready to plant, this fast-growing tree is prized for its tender young leaves, which have a savory leek-like flavor perfect for salads, stir fry dishes, soups, and traditional Asian cuisine. Its attractive compound foliage also makes it a beautiful ornamental addition to edible landscapes and backyard gardens.

When left unpruned, the tree can reach impressive heights, but it can also be maintained smaller for easy harvesting of fresh new shoots throughout the growing season. You will receive a healthy live plant similar in size and condition to the one shown in the listing photos.
