This genus consists of a limited number of deciduous shrubs or small trees found in East Asia, with Neoshirakia japonica being the sole species cultivated. It is valued for its substantial, thick leaves that display vibrant red hues during the fall season.

Neoshirakia

Neoshirakia japonica is a small tree or shrub reaching heights of up to 8 meters. Its leaves are elliptical and range from mid- to dark green, transforming into red and yellow hues during the fall. The plant produces subtle, greenish-yellow flowers that appear in slender catkins, which are succeeded by distinctive three-lobed seed capsules that hang downwards.
