クロガネモチ
共生の森に植栽されたクロガネモチが赤い実をつけています。関東以西の照葉樹林内に生育する高木ですが、公園や庭によく植えられます。若い枝や葉柄が黒紫色になることが特徴です。雌雄異株で、赤い実をつけるのは雌木だけです。
A "Kurogane-Mochi (クロガネモチ)" tree planted in the Kyosei-Forest(共生の森) is bearing red fruits. They are tall trees that originally grow in evergreen forests in the west of Kanto region, but they are often planted in parks and gardens. It's their characteristic that their young branches and leaf stems are purple. They are dioecious, so only female trees bear red fruits.
