I have three Evodia trees, one about 6 feet tall, two that the deer keep eating the top off. The six foot tree had it's first blossom last year and again this year, one cluster of blossoms. It was planted for my honey bees but so far they have not noticed it. The two smaller trees are in bottom ground, well drained and droughts in the summer. The taller is on clay base soil with about 4 inches of fairly good. dry, topsoil. I am near Bethalto, IL.

Korean Evodia (now known botanically as Tetradium daniellii) is an easy to grow medium-size tree reaching 40+ feet after many decades. Also sometimes known as Korean bee tree since it attracts hordes of pollinators when in bloom, this smooth gray-barked tree boasts large clusters of fine white flowers in midsummer when there are not many trees in bloom.
The pollinated flowers form dry fruiting structures that turn reddish to pink, extending the ornamental quality of this tree. As they mature, the structures dry to a beige color and split, revealing the small jet-black seeds. The clean glossy pinnately compound foliage turns a butter yellow in the fall.
