Bee Bee Tree Seeds

Bee Bee Tree Seeds (Tetradium daniellii) are one of the finest trees you can grow for supporting honeybees and other beneficial pollinators. Also known as the Korean Evodia or Bee Tree, this fast-growing deciduous species produces large clusters of fragrant creamy-white flowers in late summer, providing an abundant nectar source when few other trees are blooming. Its rounded canopy, attractive dark green foliage, and exceptional value to wildlife make it an outstanding choice for landscapes, parks, apiaries, and pollinator gardens.
