Cladrastris kentuckea, ‘American Yellowwood’
$149.00
The American Yellowwood is a sought after fragrant and showy American native tree with beautiful white racemes flowers. It is a beautiful native tree with long graceful trunks and flowers around May/ June in USDA Zone 6. The white flowering racemes are quite showy.
American Yellowwood can create one of the most spectacular flower display of any tree species. The blossoms appear in late spring, when numerous fragrant wisteria-like foot-long flower clusters droop from the branches. The mature American Yellowwood tree in full bloom is a stunning sight.
In recognition of its beauty, the species was given the prestigious Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Gold Award in 1994. It is a graceful medium-sized, deciduous tree that typically grows 30-40 feet tall with upright branching and a broad, rounded crown covered with intensely fragrant, wisteria-like flowers in large, drooping, terminal panicles (10-15 inches long) in late spring. Younger specimens grow well in some shade and away from high wind areas. USDA zones 4-8
