About

Tetradium is a genus of trees in the family Rutaceae. It occurs in temperate to tropical East Asia. In older books, the genus was often included in the related genus Euodia (sometimes written, "Evodia" from Latin spelling), but that genus is now restricted to tropical species. In cultivation in English-speaking countries, they are known as Euodia, Evodia, or Bee bee tree.

They are attractive trees with deciduous glossy pinnate leaves. Tetradium daniellii (syn. T. hupehensis) develops a smooth gray bark that resembles that of a beech tree and grows to a height of 20 metres (66 ft). The leaves resemble the foliage of an ash tree and are a glossy dark green in summer. In fall there is little color change and leaves tend to drop green to yellow-green.
