About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Yellowhorn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium), known in China as wen guan guo, is a deciduous shrub or small tree with compound leaves and showy spring flower clusters. White petals surround centers that develop warmer colors as the flowers age. Rounded seed capsules add a second distinctive feature after the blossom display.

With a long cultivation history in northern China, yellowhorn combines ornamental appeal with the cultural story of a traditional seed-oil tree. Its layered foliage, spring flowers and developing capsules make it an engaging specimen for a mixed woody border or a collection of culturally significant trees.
