Firmiana simplex - Chinese Parasol Tree Oak with variegation on the edgeThis medium sized deciduous tree in the mallow family native to Asia. It is noted for its large lobed leaves which can grow up to 30cm across enabling it to cast dense shade. In early summer long panicles of yellow green flowers occur followed by unusual seed pods. This tree will grow in a variety of soils if they are well drained in sun to partial shade. Rarely seen in Australian gardens.
