Styrax obassia is a deciduous tree native to Japan, known for its graceful appearance and fragrant flowers. Here's a detailed description:
Size and Growth Habit: Styrax obassia typically grows to a height of 6 to 10 meters (20 to 33 feet) and spreads out to form a rounded crown. It has a moderate growth rate.
Leaves: The leaves are ovate to elliptic in shape, about 5 to 10 centimeters (2 to 4 inches) long, with finely serrated margins. They are bright green in color and turn yellow in the fall before dropping.
Flowers: The most striking feature of Styrax obassia is its flowers, which appear in late spring to early summer. The flowers are pendulous, bell-shaped, and white, measuring about 1 to 2 centimeters (0.4 to 0.8 inches) in diameter. They hang in clusters along the branches and emit a sweet, delicate fragrance.
Fruit: After flowering, small round fruits, about 1 centimeter (0.4 inches) in diameter, develop. These fruits are dry capsules that contain small seeds.
Bark: The bark of Styrax obassia is smooth and grayish-brown when young, becoming rougher and darker with age.
Cultural Requirements: This tree prefers moist, well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is relatively low-maintenance once established and has good tolerance to urban pollution.
Landscape Use: Styrax obassia is often grown as an ornamental tree in gardens, parks, and landscapes for its attractive foliage, elegant form, and fragrant flowers. It serves well as a focal point or specimen tree.
