nisia

Nisia, also known as Nyssa, is a genus of trees belonging to the family Araliaceae. The genus is native to eastern Asia. These trees are characterized by their compound leaves, often pinnately compound, and their ornamental qualities. They are typically dioecious, meaning individual trees are either male or female.

Species within the Nisia genus are often cultivated for their attractive foliage and form. They can vary in size, from small ornamental trees to larger specimens. The flowers are generally small and inconspicuous, borne in clusters. Following flowering, female trees may produce small, berry-like fruits.

Nisia species are generally hardy and adaptable to a range of soil conditions, though they prefer well-drained soil and partial shade. They are sometimes used in landscaping for their architectural appeal and are a popular choice in gardens and parks in their native regions and beyond. Information regarding specific cultivation needs and potential uses can vary between different species.
