You are bidding on about 30 CHINESE ANGELICA TREE SEEDS - Aralia chinensis  .

This is a large rapidly growing shrub to 12-18' tall. It is noted for producing very spiny, pithy, usually unbranched stems which are crowned at the top with a spreading umbrella-like canopy of huge, showy, bi-pinnate leaves (each to 2-4' long).

Flowers are quite showy and very attractive to bees. Flowers are followed by clusters of fleshy, spherical, black drupes that ripen from late summer into fall. Drupes are quite attractive to birds.

This is native to Japan, eastern Siberia, Korea and northeastern China.

The stembark is diuretic and sialagogue.
