The American Yellowwood, scientifically known as Cladrastis kentukea, is a beautiful deciduous tree native to the eastern United States. It is highly valued for its showy, fragrant, and drooping clusters of white flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. The flowers give way to long, flat seed pods that add visual interest to the tree. The American Yellowwood has a rounded crown and attractive, smooth gray bark. It is known for its vibrant yellow fall foliage, making it a stunning addition to any landscape. This tree prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
