Xanthoceras sorbifolium
Xanthoceras sorbifolium is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to northern China, recognizable by its white, five-petaled flowers with yellow-to-red centers. Its leaves resemble those of the mountain ash, comprising multiple leaflets along a central stem. In spring, xanthoceras sorbifolium blossoms in dense clusters, followed by round, greenish-yellow fruits in autumn that provide sustenance for local wildlife, illustrating its adaptation to seasonal changes.
