'''''Tetradium''''' is a [[genus]] of nine species of [[tree]]s in the family [[Rutaceae]], occurring in temperate to tropical east [[Asia]]. In older books, the genus was often included in the related genus ''Euodia'' (orthographic error, "''Evodia''"), but that genus is now restricted to tropical species (1). In cultivation in English-speaking countries, they are known as '''Euodia''', '''Evodia''', or '''Bee bee tree'''.
They are attractive [[tree]]s with [[deciduous]] glossy pinnate [[Leaf|leaves]]. ''Tetradium daniellii'' (syn. ''T. hupehensis'') develops a smooth gray bark that resembles that of a [[beech]] tree and grows to a height of 20 metres. The leaves resemble the foliage of an ash tree and are a glossy dark green in summer. In fall there is little color change and leaves tend to drop green to yellow-green. The tree is covered in late July and August with masses of large flat white to gray cluster of small white flowers, particularly valued when few other tree-size plants are flowering. It attracts large numbers of [[bee]]s and is sought after by [[beekeeping|beekeepers]] as a source of late summer [[honey]]. The flowers produce clusters of seed that is present from late August through November. The seeds start as bright red capsules that when fully ripe open to expose shiny black buckshot seed as Autumn progresses. The small, red-to-black [[Berry|berries]] are popular with many [[bird]]s.
