Cladrastis kentukea
The Cladrastis kentukea, commonly known as the American Yellowwood, is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to the southeastern United States. It is admired for its beautiful, fragrant white flowers that bloom in late spring and its smooth, gray bark. The tree's pinnate leaves turn a vibrant yellow in the fall, adding seasonal interest to landscapes.
This tree is ideal for use as a specimen plant in large gardens or parks. Its attractive foliage and flowers make it a great choice for ornamental planting. It can also be used in naturalized areas or as part of a mixed border.
