Grow a remarkable native hardwood with this extra-large bulk pack of American Yellowwood (Cladrastis kentukea) seeds. Celebrated for its breathtaking, pendulous clusters of intensely fragrant white flowers, this tree becomes a spectacular focal point in late spring to early summer once mature.

American Yellowwood forms a broad, rounded crown with smooth gray bark that provides year-round ornamental appeal. Its compound leaves emerge soft yellow-green, mature to bright green, and turn beautiful shades of yellow and orange in fall. Though flowering may take several years to begin, mature trees can be covered in dramatic wisteria-like blooms.

This 240-seed pack is ideal for nurseries, restoration projects, large properties, landscaping developments, and conservation plantings.
