'''Idesia polycarpa''' (Iigiri Tree) is a medium-large, [[deciduous]], [[Monoicous|dioecious]] tree generally reaching a height of 9-12 meters (30-40 feet). It is native to [[China]], [[Taiwan]], [[Korea]], and the [[Ryukyu Islands]].

The bark of ''I. polycarpa'' is a smooth gray. The leaves are large and heart-shaped. The fragrant flowers are small and born in [[panicle]]s. The fruit is an orange [[berry]] 5 to 8 mm across which persist until the following spring. It is edible either raw or cooked.<ref>Tanaka. T.

		+
		+	Deciduous: lvs. alternate, long-petioled. 3-5-nerved at the base, crenate-serrate; stipules small, caducous: fls. dioecious, in large terminal panicles; sepals 5 (3-6); petals wanting; stamens, numerous, with villous filaments; ovary 1-celled, with 3-6 spreading styles: fr. a many-seeded berry.—One species in S. Japan and Cent, and W. China.
		+
		+	This is a handsome tree with close grayish white bark and spreading branches forming a low broad head; the rather large lustrous leaves are borne on long reddish stalks; the flowers are not showy, but the orange- red berries, borne in pendulous racemes sometimes 10 inches long, are very conspicuous, particularly after the leaves have fallen. The plants raised from seeds recently introduced from Central China have proved hardy at the Arnold Arboretum, at least in favorable positions, while the Japanese plant introduced about fifty years ago is not hardy north of Philadelphia; otherwise there is no difference between the Japanese and the Chinese plant. The tree grows quite rapidly while young and does not seem particular as to the soil. Propagation is by seeds, which germinate readily, and by greenwood and root-cuttings.
