Title: Evodia seed source?
Post by: greenbtree on December 19, 2011, 01:57:54 PM
Anyone know of a current source of Evodia (Bee-Bee Tree) seed? The couple past sources that I knew about have dried up.

Thanks Ken. I always have seeds and seedlings available to anyone interested. Now is a great time to grow them indoors and have some good sized seedlings to plant in spring.  :)

Are they Evodia danielii or Evodia hupehensis? 

It is my understanding that Evodia hupehensis is the one we want.

I spoke to the botanist at the suppler and the stated that the Evodia danielii is the Bee Bee tree that produces the flowers that  the bees love and produces the lite nectar that the bees use to produce the honey that is light in color and very fragrent.

I hope he is not lying to me by using his credentials to influence me to purchase the wrong seeds.

dose anyone know for a fact which one is the proper one.

Seems to be about the same, except one from Korea and one from China>


Evodia hupehensis
Bee Tree
     
Evodia hupehensis
Evodia hupehensis

  Syn. Tetradium danielli

Native Region: Central China
Zone Range: 4-8
Preferred Climate: Full to semi sun; well draining soils

Description:
True to its common name, the sweetly scented white clusters of flowers offer abundant nectar and pollen to winged creatures in mid July to early August when most other plants have either finished flowering. An unusual lovely disease and pest-free tree with pinnate glossy dark green leaves. Fast grower; red to purple twigs and young stems. Invitingly smooth grey bark later in life. Blooms at an early age on new wood. Berries are much enjoyed by birds and other wildlife. Reaches 6-7 meters in height with an equal spread. Adapts to many soil types.
