About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
Chinese torreya has a remarkable place in China's cultivated landscapes. The ancient torreya community of Kuaijishan preserves a growing tradition spanning more than two thousand years, built around carefully selected and grafted trees. Torreya grandis itself is a conifer native to central and southern China, giving this seed project a connection to both woodland botany and agricultural heritage.
For the patient grower, its appeal is the development of an evergreen tree over time. It suits a living collection devoted to unusual conifers or culturally important trees. Seedlings are genetically individual plants: they should not be expected to reproduce the named, grafted nut-producing selections associated with historic orchards.
