This large Chinese tree is mostly known as an herbal supplement but for me it's far better known for it's brilliant fall color, fan shaped leaves and ridged bark.
This slow growing tree comes in male or female forms. The females produce a naked seed that will mature into an orangish color. The seed is covered by a fleshy covering that is messy and smells really bad! So the male trees are far more popular. Be careful purchasing an unnamed variety for this reason.
This is also one of the oldest trees we know of and was probably native to North America at one time.
