Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contribution to the Knowledge of Japanese Lac (Ki-Urushi): Thesis Presented to the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Bern, for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Lacquer trees grow up straight and have fairly symmetrical crowns. The young trees have fine, large, pinnate leaves, which in good soil often grow to be more than a meter long, and far exceed all other species of Rhus in size and beauty. The leaves are unequally pinnate and have long stems. Before falling off in October they become yellow or reddish brown. There are from nine to fifteen leaflets, large, oval, pointed and unindented, which have fine short hairs on the under side.
