The Dendropanax trifidus is native to east Asia and can be found across Japan. The tree produces male and hermaphrodite flowers from June to July and then fruits, which turn black purple in late autumn.
Its Japanese name is "kakuremino," which translates into "invisibility cloak," after the leaf looking like
Tengu's magic cloak, which makes the wearer invisible like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak.
Tengu are a type of mischievous
yokai (supernatural beings) appearing in Japanese folklore. Imagining Harry Potter wearing
Tengu's cloak made me chuckle😆.
The Dendropanax trifidus leaves change generally from a lobed to an ovate shape but some aren't lobed or ovate, which makes it difficult to identify the tree.
