Pterocarya x rehderiana, commonly known as Rehder Wingnut, is a vigorous deciduous tree with a rounded, spreading habit. Pterocarya x rehderiana is hybrid between Pterocarya fraxinifolia and Pterocarya stenoptera. Its mid green leaves are compound. Its flowers are light green and appear as pendulous catkins that are up to 40cm long. These are followed by green winged nutlets. These nutlets mature to brown in late summer and remain on the tree during the winter months. Pterocarya x rehderiana may be used as a specimen tree for sunny locations, where space allows.
