Description

Yellowhorn Tree Seeds (Xanthoceras sorbifolium) produce a rare and beautiful ornamental tree known for its striking white flowers with colorful yellow and red centers. Native to northern China, the Yellowhorn Tree is prized for its cold hardiness, drought tolerance, and attractive multi-season interest. In spring, clusters of fragrant blooms cover the branches, followed by unusual seed pods that add decorative appeal to the landscape.

This small deciduous tree or large shrub grows well in a variety of soil conditions and is an excellent choice for homesteads, wildlife gardens, edible landscapes, and ornamental plantings. The seeds and young leaves have historically been used in parts of Asia, while the tree itself is valued for its resilience and adaptability. Yellowhorn Trees can tolerate cold winters, making them suitable for gardeners in cooler climates looking for a unique flowering specimen tree.

Xanthoceras sorbifolium typically reaches heights of 15 to 25 feet with a rounded canopy and attractive green foliage that turns yellow in autumn. Its drought tolerance and low-maintenance nature make it a great option for both beginner and experienced growers.
