椋 is made up of the radicals for tree 木 and capital (city) 京. And ムクノキmukunoki is a species of tree, the scabrous aphananthe or muku tree (Aphananthe aspera). Apparently its leaves can be used to make sandpaper, which is neat. And here I was thinking of it as a whale tree, because if you swap out the tree radical for the fish one, you get 鯨 kujira. (Can anyone tell I have a big project due today and do NOT want to work on it?)
