Sterculia brevissima under storey shrub of rainforests

Sterculia brevissima
Smallest Sterculia

A small shrub from Yunnan with a peculiar star shaped fruit in attractive red. It grows in the shade of larger trees and adds colour to a dark corner. Also a good indoor plant.

The seeds of Sterculia brevissima hang down like red stars and make a beautiful decoration of a shaded place.

In the shrub's place of origin, in Yunnan, a bug of the same colour lives on the fruits of the Sterculiaceae.

The shrub grows well in the shade of larger trees or indoors.

Imagine, the traceability of your products leads your customers to the tropical jungles of the Mekong river and to the Himalayan mountains where Tibet meets Yunnan. Immerged in diverse culture and rich biodiversity, your customers can visit the places and people where your products start from pristine soils, clean air, and where they support the livelihood of local ethnic communities. Would this add to the sustainability and credibility of your business? Would your trademark benefit from international research publications lauding your company's involvement in saving the rain forest? If you are in the food, cosmetics, flower, herbal, and medical business, certifying your products as contributing to biodiversity protection will be an advantage with a competitive edge. The TianZi Biodiversity Centre is working with German Universities to design land use systems, which are bound to change paradigms: we promote rare agro-biodiversity species, manage complexity, and find alternatives to destructive forms of mono culture. If all this is in line with your company's business concept - please contact us. The TianZi Team.
