Anyone around here plant some of these trees
Evodia danielii: Korean Evodia
I have ordered seeds and will grow them into small plants in my Greenhouse.

This flowers June through Late August with strong nectar flow
Actually warns people about where they plant them because of high attraction to bees

I was given one about 3 inches tall last summer. I set it out last fall at about 18 inches tall. It is starting to bud now.

Sorry as a novice I dont know yet, but all the info I can find shows it to be extremely important in the months that are typically without pollen and nectar.
I intend to plant one or two on my property and a bunch as boundary trees on the farm across the way.
