Not a fussy plant at all

Some leaves turn green as the summer progresses

This delicate tree

Eucommia ulmoides - Chinese Rubber Tree Perennials Not a fussy plant atA small tree native to China that is cultivated for its bark that is highly valued in traditional Chinese medicine. The tree also extrudes a natural latex that was once used as a substitute for the traditional rubber tree. Quite a hardy tree that so far has handled 10C for me without a problem. The Chinese Rubber Tree is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN.
