Styphnolobium japonicum, commonly called Japanese pagoda tree or Chinese scholar tree, is native to China and Korea, but not Japan. It is a medium to large deciduous tree that typically matures to 50-75’ (less frequently to 100’) tall with a broad round crown. It is generally cultivated for its attractive compound foliage and fragrant late summer flowers. Pinnate leaves (up to 10” long), each with 7-17 oval, dark green leaflets, remain attractive throughout the growing season.
