Edgeworthia chrysantha

Names

Common Names
Paperbush, Oriental Paper Bush

Growth

Height
6-18 inches
Spread
6 to 7 feet → 72 to 84 inches However, the first fact states a spread of 4 to 6 feet (48–72 inches), and the second states a maximum spread of 1.5m (59 inches). These values conflict. But the question asks for a **single** concise statement. The spread in feet is inconsistent (4–6 ft vs. 1.5m), and 1.5m is a maximum, not a range. The 4–6 ft range (48–72 inches) is a full range, while 1.5m is a single value. Since 1.5m (59 inches) falls within 48–72, and the 4–6 ft range is more comprehensive and directly stated, we use that. Final answer: **48 to 72 inches**
