It’s deciduous, and in winter the buds become silvery, along with the stems, so it almost looks like an ornamental tree. The wood is quite special—it’s used to make very high-quality paper. There are stories that Rembrandt used this paper and that Japanese currency was once made from it. It’s named after a brother and sister in the 19th century - the brother was an amateur botanist, and the sister was a well-known novelist. Picture: Edgeworthia in flower at the Botanic Gardens.
