Size and Growth: Evodia daniellii typically grows as a medium-sized tree, reaching heights of 10-20 meters (33-66 feet) tall, with a rounded or broadly spreading crown. It has a moderate growth rate.

Leaves: The leaves of Evodia daniellii are pinnately compound, meaning they are composed of several leaflets arranged along a central stem (rachis). Each leaflet is elliptical to lanceolate in shape, with serrated margins. The leaves are bright green in color and turn yellow or orange in the fall before dropping.

Flowers: The tree produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers in late spring to early summer, typically from May to June. The flowers are fragrant and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Fruit: Evodia daniellii bears clusters of small, round, black berries in late summer to early fall. The berries are about 5-8 millimeters (0.2-0.3 inches) in diameter and are attractive to birds, which help in seed dispersal.

Bark: The bark of young trees is smooth and grayish-brown, becoming rougher and more fissured with age.

Habitat: Evodia daniellii is adaptable to various soil types but prefers moist, well-drained soils. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is tolerant of urban conditions, making it suitable for parks, gardens, and streetscapes.

Cultural Significance: In its native range, Evodia daniellii has cultural and medicinal significance. Various parts of the tree, including the bark and fruits, have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for their purported medicinal properties.

Ornamental Use: Due to its attractive foliage, fragrant flowers, and colorful fruit, Evodia daniellii is cultivated as an ornamental tree in gardens and landscapes outside of its native range. It is valued for its aesthetic appeal, as well as its tolerance to urban pollution and harsh growing conditions.

Propagation: Evodia daniellii can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. It is relatively easy to grow and maintain, requiring little special care once established. Hardy in zones 4-8.
