| Mystery Tree |
The last Flora Wonder Blog presented an
unidentified tree photographed in Japan with butter-yellow autumn
color.
A few readers suggested names, but the
most likely came from BH from England.
Gamblea innovans
Good morning Talon,
Your unidentified tree is Gamblea
innovans previously known as Evodiapanax innovans or Kalopanax
innovans. All as you will know in Araliaceae. We have Metapanax
davidii (Previously Pseudopanax) in the garden here. The botanists
have gone mad with this group.
Gamblea innovans
is an entirely new species for me and even the Hillier
Manual of Trees and Shrubs
(2014) doesn't list it. If you search on the internet you will find
images that seem to match what the Englishman suggests. I wonder if
it is hardy in Oregon?
