×Sycoparrotia semidecidua arose from a cross between the evergreen Sycopsis sinensis and the deciduous Parrotia persica. The result is a semi-evergreen tree that is evergreen in mild winters. The leaves that fall off in winter turn yellow in autumn. ×Sycoparrotia semidecidua forms a dense, broadly ovoid crown. The dark grey branches bear glossy dark green leaves that are somewhat leathery to the touch. Flowers open very early in spring. In fact, these are bundles where only the red stamens are visible, enclosed by brown petals. As the stamens ripen, the pale yellow pollen becomes visible.
The distinct flowering in early spring and the fact that the tree is semi-evergreen make ×Sycoparrotia semidecidua a standout. The tree has the same requirements as Hamamelis; any sufficiently moist but well-drained neutral to acidic soil will do. The tree can be used in paving and tolerates air pollution.
