Continuing in my yard, saw a pair in the viburnum today! I noticed them flashing their crowns, then one chased the other back into the white cedars. Later saw the pair in the viburnum again. Wonderful little visitors, and I finally got some nice pictures!

Korean Euodia (Tetradium daniellii)Observer
zitsermDescription
Gray, smooth, beech-like bark. Opposite branching. This tree is also known as the bee-bee tree. This tree is great at attracting bees due to the large amounts of nectar produced by the flowers.
Native to Korea and Southwestern China.
Compound clusters of dried flowers were scattered on the ground nearby. Some of these flower clusters could be seen in the canopy of one of the trees. I saw two Korean Euodia trees at this spot, both about 30-40 feet tall. Only one of the trees appeared to have the flower clusters in the canopy.

Dark purple terminal buds. Trunks has spines, as do the twigs. Similar to Aralia elata, but this tree is in an entirely different genus. Convergent evolution?
