Culture notes: American yellowwood, is a medium-sized, deciduous tree of the legume family that typically grows 30-50’ tall with upright branching and a broad, rounded crown. It is noted for its pinnately compound foliage, panicles of fragrant white spring flowers, autumn seed pods and yellow fall color. The species is native to the southeastern U.S. Intensely fragrant, wisteria-like, white flowers in large, drooping, terminal 10-15" long panicles. Prune in summer because cuts made in late winter or spring tend to bleed.
