Chinese wingnut is distinguished by its impressive canopy, casting dappled shade from its vast spread. This robust shade tree has expansive roots often visible at the soil surface. Its strong branches bear compound leaves with unique toothed wings along the central veins. In spring, soft, downy new growth emerges, while older twigs show a cover of tawny down. By autumn, chinese wingnut's foliage transforms into a subtle yellow-green, and its distinctive fruits, reminiscent of wingnuts, display a more pronounced showiness in their brown fall attire.
