Zanthoxylum bungeanum Deciduous shrub (1 Page of 5) The Zanthoxylum bungeanum plant species is found in E. Asia - China. It is a member of the Rutaceae family. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Zanthoxylum bungeanum Family: Rutaceae Author: Max. Known Hazards: The plant is toxic[147]. No more details. Mature Height: 6 Mature Width: Habitat: Waysides and thickets to 2000 metres in W. China[109].
Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors at least in the milder areas of the country. It is said to be often cultivated for its edible fruit, especially in hot dry river valleys in China[109]. There is some doubt over the correct name for this species, it might be no more than a synonym of Z. simulans. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus.
Prefers a good deep well-drained moisture retentive soil in full sun or semi-shade[1, 11, 200].
Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required.
Flowers are formed on the old wood[206].
