Phellodendron amurense, also known as the Amur cork tree, is a species of deciduous tree native to Asia. It is a member of the Rutaceae family and is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine.

Description[edit | edit source]

The Phellodendron amurense is a large tree that can reach up to 30 meters in height. It has a thick, corky bark and compound leaves that are typically 10-15 cm long. The tree produces small, yellow flowers in the spring, followed by black, berry-like fruits in the fall.

Distribution and Habitat[edit | edit source]

Phellodendron amurense is native to eastern Asia, including parts of China, Japan, and Korea. It prefers moist, well-drained soils and can often be found growing in forests and along riverbanks.

Uses[edit | edit source]

The bark of the Phellodendron amurense is used in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is known as Huang Bai. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. The bark is typically harvested in the fall and then dried for use.

In addition to its medicinal uses, the Phellodendron amurense is also grown as an ornamental tree due to its attractive bark and foliage.

Conservation Status[edit | edit source]

While the Phellodendron amurense is not currently listed as threatened or endangered, it is considered vulnerable in some parts of its range due to habitat loss and overharvesting for medicinal use.
