(HJM 15022) Quite rare in the U.S., this small evergreen tree from China has laurel-like evergreen leaves and an adaptable nature. This specimen acquired from the Atlanta Botanic Garden has red new growth. Although it is related to Camellia, the flowers and fruit of Adinandra millettii are insignificant. In southern China, the leaves are used to dye rice green for holidays such as the Qingming festival and Haishi Day. A truly understated but elegant evergreen shrub/tree.
