Kentucky Coffee Tree – Gymnocladus dioicus Seeds | 8 Count | Fast Growing Hardy Shade Tree | Native Urban Tolerant

Grow a bold native shade tree with Kentucky Coffee Tree seeds (Gymnocladus dioicus). This striking deciduous tree is valued for its massive tropical-looking leaves, rugged bark, and strong adaptability to tough growing conditions.

Reaching 60–80 feet tall, Kentucky Coffee Tree develops an open, upright oval crown that casts light, filtered shade—ideal for lawns, parks, and large landscapes. Blue-green summer foliage turns yellow in fall before dropping early, creating a clean seasonal transition.
