Cladrastis kentukea
Yellowwood Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Yellowwood is a very attractive medium to large tree for a prime spot in the landscape. It gets 30-45 feet tall and wide, has smooth gray bark, and has the most beautiful, fragrant clusters of creamy white, wisteria-like flowers in the spring. Flowering can be so abundant that the fallen flowers look like snow on the ground. Yellowwood likes alkaline soil that is well drained and of average fertility. It wants full sun. A tree in flower is absolutely breathtaking. Cat# 1530
