Triadica sebifera ‘Ilan Lohev’

A medium, deciduous tree with a round canopy. The tree’s outstanding foliage is green and refreshing. The leaves are glabrous, simple and heart-shaped. The tree tends to have a spectacular fall appearance. Due to its propagation from seeds, Triadica sebifera are differentiated from one another by their fall appearances. In the nursery, we have successfully created two clones with outstanding fall shows: ‘Ilan Lohev’ has an especially long-lasting fall appearance in fire colors of yellow, orange and red. The second clone is ‘Bordo.’ The tree excels in fast growth and will reach its maturity after three years. It requires relatively little water and is drought resistant.

The tree is monoecious and bisexual, meaning that the same tree has both male and female flowers. It prefers a temperate climate without very long frosts. Its root system is not invasive, and it makes an excellent street tree. When it is selected for this purpose, we recommend planting trees from a single clone to maintain a uniform appearance of the street in an impressive, uniform fall appearance that will beautify the street or boulevard where they are planted.

Its green and refreshing foliage, which creates a spectacular fall show that is in itself reason enough to choose Triadica sebifera as an ornamental tree, and especially the ‘Ilan Lohev’ clone, which excels in a particularly long fall show in fire colors. This clone’s fall appearance is especially attractive, and it is not for nothing that this is one of the most popular cultivars among our customers.
