Description

Named for the mountain Phan Si Pan where we collected this recently ranked species, where it formed an elegant small evergreen tree or shrub to 5m tall, less in garden. With leaves comprising of 7-11 narrowly-ovate to lanceolate mid-green leaflets held in two whirls on wiry purple stalks. Bearing long terminal racemes of yellow pubescent flowers held in rounded umbels, followed by blue-black fruit through the winter. Our collection from our 2006 expedition on the highest mountain in Vietnam. Easily grown in sun to part shade in a fertile moisture retentive soil out of cold winds.
