California Hop tree

A deciduous large shrub/small tree from the citrus family that grows to approx. 20-25 ft. in lower elevations of northern California. Enjoy the pale yellow flowers, glossy green scented foliage, and light green fruits which turn brown in age. Use where you’d like to create a very different look. This little tree is very fragrant and can fill a yard with its sweet, almost syrupy fragrance. The flowers attract small insects, which in turn attract birds.

Its juices are acrid and bitter and the bark possesses tonic properties.
