Sophora (Styphnolobium japonicum, formerly Sophora japonica), commonly known as Japanese Pagoda Tree or Scholar Tree, is a refined deciduous shade tree. Recognized for its delicate, fern-like pinnate foliage and spreading umbrella-shaped canopy, it blooms in mid-to-late summer with large, fragrant, cream-white flower panicles. The weeping cultivar, Sophora japonica 'Pendula', is highly sought-after for its dramatic architectural structure.

Care Difficulty
Light: Requires full sun to achieve a full, healthy canopy and heavy summer blooms. Watering: Needs regular watering while getting established. Mature trees exhibit superb drought resistance. Soil: Extremely adaptable; thrives in poor, dry, sandy, or highly alkaline soils, provided there is good drainage. Temperature & Pruning: Very cold-hardy and urban-tolerant (heat, drought, and atmospheric pollution). Prining or canopy shaping should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
