Gymnocladus dioicus 'Espresso'
Description
The 'Espresso' Kentucky Coffeetree is a unique and striking deciduous tree known for its bold, architectural form and large, compound leaves. It is a male cultivar, which means it does not produce the messy seed pods typical of the species. Its foliage emerges late in spring, providing a lush, tropical appearance throughout the growing season and turning a beautiful yellow in the fall.
Suggested Uses
This tree is ideal for large landscapes, parks, and urban environments where its size and form can be appreciated. It is also suitable for use as a shade tree or as a focal point in a garden setting.
