Decaisnea fargesii is an unusual and highly ornamental deciduous shrub or small tree, best known for its eye-catching blue, sausage-shaped fruits that appear in autumn. In late spring, it produces clusters of drooping greenish-yellow flowers, followed by lush green foliage that gives a bold, exotic feel through summer. Hardy and easy to grow in moist, well-drained soil, this distinctive plant is ideal as a specimen in sheltered gardens where its unusual fruiting display can be fully appreciated.
