Igiri tree

Also known as: Information to be completed

A deciduous tree with an open, branching habit and large, heart-shaped, slightly toothed, glossy green leaves, held on reddish stems and sometimes tinted red when young. Long, hanging clusters of small, fragrant yellow-green flowers are produced on mature trees in midsummer. If pollinated, these are followed by hanging clusters of round red berries on female trees, which sometimes persist into winter

Watering

Moderate regular watering, avoid prolonged drought or waterlogging

Fertilizing

Balanced feed in spring and light repeat in growth season

Pruning

Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings in late spring or by semi-ripe cuttings in midsummer

Growing

Grow in deep, moderately fertile, moist but well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil in full sun or light shade. Female trees need a male tree nearby to produce berries reliably
