It looks like snow is piled up on the branches of "Nankinhaze"
Do you know the tree "Nankinhaze" that bears white fruits on its branches?
Here is what the tree looks like*
[Spring and Summer]
[Autumn]
[Winter]
Many people may think they have never seen or heard of it, but in fact, Nankinhaze is widely planted as a street tree and park tree in Japan. You might have a Nankinhaze tree nearby without knowing it*
What kind of tree is Nankinhaze?
Nankinhaze originates from the southern part of the Chinese mainland. It is classified as a deciduous hardwood tree, just like maple and dogwood.
The flower language means "sincerity" and "hearts connected"♡
In spring, Nankinhaze blooms long racemes of small yellow flowers (they look like long, thin rapeseed flowers).
In autumn, the leaves turn red and beautifully change color♡
(This one is from Nara Park)
At the end of summer, green fruits appear, and by autumn, the fruits ripen and turn brown. When the leaves start to fall, white seeds burst out from inside.
Once all the leaves have fallen, it looks as if snow is piled on the branches*
The fruits of Nankinhaze are used for wreaths and more*
The fruits of Nankinhaze are often used in Christmas wreaths and swags.
During winter, the fruits in these wreaths sold at flower shops are actually Nankinhaze fruits*
The round white fruits look like snow and are cute♡
It's also popular to display the branches as they are in your room.
Recommended for wedding bouquets and hair arrangements too♡
Nankinhaze is also recommended for wedding bouquets. Using branches instead of flowers (like cherry blossoms or magnolias) gives a sophisticated vibe♡
