Okay guys what is it. I thought it might be china berry but my mom said absolutely not. I used to have one of these before I moved to the country and became a beekeeper but I don't know what it is. There are several very large ones on my mail route and the bees seem to love it. Any help? I know you guys know , give it up.

I have about 30 Korean Evodia I started this spring that are about 18 inches tall. I am going to plant them this fall and I would like to plant a bunch of these too.
Thanks for your help.
P.S. Beemaster I reviewed the video instructions before posting so I got it right the first time.

Scott, you da man. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_tallow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_tallow)
Chinese Tallow, "popcorn tree" and yes, "china ball".
Best honey producer in southeast, Louisiana.

OK, now identify this one. I was looking at a tree in the wild today that has the same flower, but has sawtooth edge leaves. What might it be?
Cherry laurel???
Scott
I have no idea. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.
yep chinese tallow.down here in southeast louisiana,you kick the dirt and a tallow pops up in a few days :-D ... schawee
Tallow trees don't even need dirt to grow, I've seen them growing in parking lots. They say they are a wickedly invasive tree and there are many programs to oust this wretched tree, but I love them! :-D

Maybe I will plant all my Evodia and just a couple of these in the fall.

Why Bud? The Evodia or the Tallow? By the way, I have 13 acres here and my neighbor is on the other side of a 100 acres of horse pasture.
This is what it looks like. Notice the sawtooth leaves.Can anyone identify it?
I am in the center of NC.

Chestnut. Chinese Chestnut.
Ours are about done blooming here. Do you like the smell of them? Most people think they stink. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chestnut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chestnut)
Thanks
Didn't sniff it.
Do the bees work it?
Pollen I guess. Bees like it here.
Chinese tallow tree is an invasive tree. I rode my horse and came across tallows that were at least 50 feet tall. They will take over, but the bees love them.
