Elaeocarpus sylvestris, also known as the woodland elaeocarpus, is a tree species found in China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam. It grows up to 15 meters tall and is typically found in evergreen forests at altitudes between 300 and 2000 meters. The tree has shiny, oblong leaves and produces green-white flowers in racemes, followed by black olive-like fruits in the autumn. The fruits are edible and the oil from the seeds can be used to make soap and lubricants. The bark can also be used as a dye source. The tree is often planted along streets and in parks. However, it is susceptible to a disease called Elaeocarpus yellows, which can be treated with oxytetracycline. The tree also contains compounds with potential medicinal properties, such as a gallotannin and a unique acid ester molecule. In Japanese culture, the tree is a symbol of the city of Urasoe, and in South Korea, it is a designated natural monument.
