Description
Gymnocladus dioicus (Kentucky Coffeetree) is a large, deciduous shade tree known for its bold, coarse texture, massive compound leaves, and strong architectural form. It develops an open, upright branching structure that provides light, filtered shade, making it an excellent choice for large landscapes, parks, and street plantings.
In spring and summer, the tree features very large, doubly compound blue-green leaves, giving it a tropical appearance. The canopy is late to leaf out and early to drop leaves in fall. Autumn color is typically soft yellow, offering subtle seasonal change rather than dramatic color. Female trees may produce large seed pods, adding ornamental interest.
