Dekka starts with ... I have a young Celerywood (Polyscias elegans) that has a different leaf-shape to all other Celerywoods I have seen. The leaflets are usually ellyptical to oval and mine has almost lyrate leaflets. Is this variation common or have I purchased a mislabelled tree? If so, what is it?

Kath says... This does not look like a celery wood to me. It could be a Tulip satinwood - Rhodospaera rhodanthema, also called the Deep Yellow-wood, this tree has the beautiful oak shaped foliage in it juvenile form. It is a fantastic pioneer tree and is one of the fastest growing rainforest trees. It is a small to medium sized tree, has valuable timber and is fast and hardy, perfect to establish a rainforset plot around. | About the Author Kath Cawongla 6th July 2007 9:28am #UserID: 2 Posts: 363 View All Kath's Edible Fruit Trees |

Kath says... Dekka, the Rhodospaera is a fantastic little tree, it is not too big and always looks gorgeous especially in flower. It has proved itself to be the fastest of all the trees that I have planted on my place. Celerywoods are very hard to germinate so we seldom have them at the nursery, they are however also an excellent fast growing pioneer tree. | About the Author Kath Cawongla 12th July 2007 7:15am #UserID: 2 Posts: 363 View All Kath's Edible Fruit Trees |
