CHINESE TALLOW TREE
Sapium sebiferum

General Notes

Chinese Tallow Tree has become a popular shade tree, for its spectaculer fall color and it thrives in warm climates, with adequate moisture. Single trunk trees grown in lawns with more moisture are taller, and more upright. Multi-trunk trees grown in moderately dry garden settings broaden, and gain less height. It often reseeds unwantedly in moist areas. It needs ample water for fast growth. It is resistant to oak rood fungus. The sap is poisonous. It may require regularly scheduled light top-trimming (but not necessarily shearing) of vigorous top shoots to maintain its height below 25'. Cal-IPC (California Invasive Plant Council) classifies the invasiveness of this plant as moderate. SelecTree lists no cultivars of sebiferum.
