Established plants have a wonderful, gnarled habit and in our opinion, this is one of the most beautiful flowering trees available. Hardy and best in a position with a little shelter from strong winds but plenty of sunlight.
- Position: Full sun or very light, dappled shade.
- Soil: Well drained, fertile soils.
- Hardiness: Hardy.
- Flowering Period: August - October.

- Habit: Sophora japonica eventually grows to be a medium sized, branching tree with a rounded crown once established.
- Height: up to 15 m (50 ft)
- Spread: 10 m (32 ft)
- Notes: Sophora japonica can take a number of years to start flowering fully in the UK and while lovely, it is best to consider it a foliage plant in the short term. This plant is also known as Styphnolobium japonicum.
