About

Pterocarya rhoifolia, commonly known as Japanese wingnut, is a species of tree in the family Juglandaceae. It is widely distributed throughout Japan and southern Korea, and also found in China in the Laoshan District of eastern Shandong Province. Its natural presence in China is contested.

The tree flourishes in moist areas along riverbanks and mountain streams, and attains 30 m (98 ft) in height, flowering from May–July.
