Despite their floral display and tropical foliage, ornamental use for tung trees has been limited by the production of tung nuts, which are large, heavy, and toxic. ‘Anna Bella’ is a semisterile, or nutless, tung tree selection that significantly reduces homeowner concerns about mowing and toxicity to pets and children. Sterility also reduces the possibility of invasiveness. ‘Anna Bella’ is the first and only ornamental tung tree selection available to landscape professionals and homeowners and is recommended for USDA cold hardiness zones 8 to 10. The Thad Cochran Southern Horticultural Laboratory (TCSHL) was formerly the USDA Tung Oil Research Station in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s and maintains the most extensive Vernicia fordii (Hemsl.) Airey Shaw (syn. Aleurites fordii Hemsl.) germplasm collection in the United States that includes historic breeding lines and cultivars used in commercial tung oil production. This collection includes trees that are late-flowering and were used as parents in a USDA-ARS tung tree breeding program to delay flowering and prevent freeze damage to commercial tung oil orchards. Tung germplasm has been conserved by the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Poplarville, MS, for the last 50 years although the mission of the research station transitioned to small fruits in 1971. The germplasm collection was screened for ornamental use and ‘Anna Bella’ was selected for evaluation. Although they have not been shown to displace native flora, tung trees persist in fence rows and along roadsides and are classified as mildly invasive in parts of Florida (Langeland and Craddock Burks, 2008). Some specimens have been retained or planted in landscapes as ornamental trees because they flower profusely in early spring. Tung nuts are large, 8.0 cm in diameter, heavy, and toxic making them a nuisance for homeowners. ‘Anna Bella’ is a semisterile, or nutless, tung tree selection that significantly reduces concerns about mowing and yard maintenance, toxicity to pets and children, and the possibility of invasiveness. In four years of observations, peak flowering for ‘Anna Bella’ occurs 4 weeks later when compared with popular tung tree cultivars for tung oil production such as ‘Folsom’ and ‘Isabel’. ‘Anna Bella’ is the first ornamental tung tree selection released by the USDAARS Southern Horticultural Research Unit.
