Wheel Tree is a large evergreen shrub or small tree native to eastern Asia. It is very uncommon in cultivation in the U.S. though it is a relatively hardy evergreen of distinctive tiered habit and foliage that stands out among other evergreens. Plant in shade or semi-shady site with moist acid soil. Said to become a sizeable tree in the Orient and may do so here with time. Bright green flowers in spring have stamens with arrangement like spokes, hence the name Wheel Tree.
