Gymnocladus Dioicus

Kentucky coffeetree

A majestic and original tree, appreciated for its impressive foliage and distinctive bark. It is distinguished by its large compound leaves, which emerge in spring in light green tones and become darker in summer. In autumn, the foliage takes on golden hues. This tree is also remarkable for its thin, unbranched branches that give it a unique appearance. It is perfectly suited to large gardens and open spaces, where it can spread without restriction. In addition, it is resistant to urban conditions and tolerates drought well once well established. It does not require much maintenance once well established. Water regularly during the first few years, especially during dry periods, then it becomes quite drought resistant. Prune dead or damaged branches in spring to encourage healthy growth.
