Yellowwood is blanketed in stunning panicles of fragrant white pea-like flowers hanging below the branches from mid to late spring. It has light green deciduous foliage which emerges chartreuse in spring. The compound leaves turn yellow in fall. The smooth silver bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape.
Yellowwood is an open deciduous tree with a more or less rounded form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season’s flowers. It is a good choice for attracting bees to your yard.

A tall and stately hybrid oak with a symmetrical narrowly oval habit of growth, ideal as a shade tree in smaller home landscapes; a majestic shade tree, extremely tough and adaptable, faster growing than other oaks.
A stunning landscape accent tree featuring hot red-orange emerging foliage, cooling by mid spring to tones of yellow and orange, then green in summer with hints of red; excellent fall color; a narrow, upright tree that broadens with maturity
An improved hybrid with brilliant, long lasting, orange-red fall color, an upright, uniform branching habit and a rapid growth rate. An excellent lawn, park or street tree. Deciduous.
This very urban savvy maple handles the stress that street trees can be exposed to. Its nice green foliage holds up beautifully, turning a nice golden yellow in the fall.
