Chinese Pink Cedar

Cedrela sinensis or Toona sinensis, Toon Tree

Every year in Spring people ask Chris “What’s that fantastic pink tree I saw?” This is the Chinese Cedar, or Toon Tree, which features beautiful pink leaves in Spring. The colour is so brilliant when the leaves emerge that it seems out of this world. Foliage then softens to a cream and then pale green by Summer.

Pink Chinese Cedar features narrow upright growth, which is handy with less space in the garden needed to have one of your own. It will reach a maximum height of around 8-12 metres and is frost tolerant. Prefers a full sun position and moist, well drained soils.
