Pot Size: 15 litre Price: £35.00 Description: An evergreen medium sized shrub to a small tree in 30 years for us, with slender green smooth branchlets bearing oblong-lanceolate minutely serrated leaves 4-6.5cm long. Flowers 2-3 in axillary cymes, borne in abundance on the plant we found, followed by bright pink 3-lobbed fruit. Requires a well drained soil, best in full sun, but tolerant of part shade, with a bit of shelter from the coldest winds. Although we have gathered the seed of this rare species twice in the high Central Mountains of Taiwan, this is the only collection available. However, there are plants circulating in the UK of a collection gathered by Kew in 1994, but they are E. carnosus. (E. huangii is erroneously applied to the ETOT collection.)
