    American Yellowwood
    Cladrastis kentukea
    Description: Slow growing round-headed flowering tree
    Mature height: 30’-50’
    Leaves: Alternate, compound, 7 to 9 leaflets, entire leaf 8 to 12’’ long, bright green. Unimpressive yellow fall color.
    Bark: Thin gray to light brown, resembling beech bark with slight protuberances of ridges and horizontal wrinkles.
    Flowers: White/cream, fragrant, borne in long pendulous panicles in late May to early June.
    Fruit: Brown pod containing 4 to 6 flat brown seeds, October 2½-4’’ long. The tree produces an abundance of
    flowers and fruit every 3rd year which may cause a litter problem in those years.

    Habitat: Tolerates high pH soils and acid situations. Native on limestone cliffs and ridge full sun

    Fun Facts: Excellent tree for flowers and foliage. In full flower the tree appears to be dripping with white rain.
    The medium size and spreading habit make it a good shade tree for smaller properties. Prune only in summer as
    it tends to bleed sap profusely in winter and early spring.
