Staphylea pinnata, the European bladdernut, [1] is a species of bladdernut native to Europe and naturalized in Britain. [2]
Description
It is a deciduous shrub growing up to 6 m (20 ft). [3] The species name pinnata refers to the pinnate leaves. [4] Small, white, bell-shaped, fragrant flowers [1] bloom from May to June, [2] on panicles up to 13 cm (5.1 in) long. [1] The flowers are bisexual and pollinated by flies. [2] The fruits are inflated papery capsules, 2-3 lobed, up to 4 cm (1.6 in) long, [1] ripening from September to November. The seeds are edible, and are said to taste like pistachios. [2]
