When is a Japanese tree not a Japanese tree? The answer is "When it is the Japanese Pagoda Tree". This handsome native of China and Korea was introduced to the island nation hundreds of years ago, and is still found on temple grounds there. Its lustrous dark green compound leaves provide a perfect backdrop for cloud-like masses of fragrant creamy white flowers. Also known as the "Chinese Scholar Tree", it was formerly known as Sophora japonica.
