The Kentucky coffee tree stands as a majestic ornamental shade tree, boasting towering height and picturesque beauty.

Fragrant greenish-white flowers appear on both male and female plants, and bloom time is may to june. Fertilized flowers on female plants give way to flat brown seed pods.
Native to Ontario and mid to eastern U.S.A.
Thrives when planted in full sun and well draining soil, but is adaptable to various soil compositions.
