Once,Mokkoku has been referred to as the king of Japanese garden tree.
As a proof, you can see this tree almost always in classic Japanese gardens.
However, Mokkoku has no major feature,is the hard-to-remember tree.
In why,is this tree is common in Japanese gardens.
It is related to the national character of Japanese.
Mokkou grows slowly.The shape does not change too much.
This "does not change" is consistent with the nature of Japanese people,
does not like to stand out.
This is the main reason that this tree has become widespread in Japan.
Mokkoku blooms small white flowers in summer, also makes red fruits in the fall.
However these do not have much appreciation value.
Charm of this tree is essentially, Its leaves such as a shoehorn.
Leaves of Mokkoku is thick and shiny.
The era when there was no street lighting,the leaves is reflected in the moonlight.
It would have made a beautiful sight.
