Hovenia dulcis
Family: Rhamnaceae
Cultivation
Although the dormant plant is hardy to at least -15°c in maritime climates such as Britain, Hovenia dulcis really prefers a continental climate to fully ripen its wood, it is then hardy to about -25°c. The shoot tips are sometimes damaged by late winter frosts and the young growth in spring can also be damaged by even quite light frosts. Grows well in a fertile sandy loam in a sunny position.
