Tetradium

Tetradium is a genus of trees and shrubs in the family Rutaceae, native to eastern Asia. It was formerly classified as part of the genus Euonymus. The genus Tetradium contains several species, including Tetradium daniellii, commonly known as the Korean evodia or bee bee tree. This species is known for its attractive clusters of white flowers that bloom in summer, followed by reddish-pink fruits. It is often planted as an ornamental tree for its attractive foliage, flowers, and fruit. Tetradium species are generally hardy and adaptable, tolerating a range of soil conditions and climates. They are often found in woodland edges and clearings. The wood of some Tetradium species is used for small crafts and fuel. The name Tetradium comes from the Greek word "tetras," meaning four, referring to the four-parted nature of its flowers and fruits.
