Strachyurus praecox 2007

Published: March 2007

Stachyurus praecox is a shrub native to Japan and the Himalayas. Spikes appear on the reddish-brown stems before the leaves emerge and then fall in the Autumn. The flowers appear from February to March with up to 24 yellow blooms on a stem and will last well into April. The Stachyurus praecox is in bloom now and is looking particularly spectacular in the Birkett Long Walk at Marks Hall.
