Sophora japonica pendula is a beautiful and unique tree that is native to China, Korea, and Japan. It is commonly known as weeping pagoda tree or Japanese pagoda tree. What sets this tree apart is its distinctive twisted stem and cascading branches that create a graceful, weeping habit.

The weeping pagoda tree typically grows to a height of 20 to 30 feet and a spread of 15 to 20 feet. Its deciduous leaves are dark green and pinnately compound, with each leaflet being lance-shaped and finely toothed. In late summer, the tree produces clusters of creamy-white, fragrant flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

The twisted stem of the weeping pagoda tree is a result of a natural genetic mutation, which gives the tree its characteristic, contorted appearance. This unique feature makes it an excellent choice for use as an ornamental tree in gardens, parks, and other landscapes.

The weeping pagoda tree is relatively low maintenance and adapts well to different soil types and growing conditions. It prefers full sun to partial shade and can tolerate drought, pollution, and urban environments.

Overall, Sophora japonica pendula with twisted stem is a beautiful and distinctive tree that adds a touch of elegance and charm to any landscape.
