Gymnocladus dioica

The 'Kentucky Coffee Tree' is only rarely seen in this country, which is a shame as the huge but very graceful, bi-pinnate leaves are quite a sight and make it one of the most attractive trees we can grow. Steadily makes a deciduous tree of small to medium size with foliage pink tinged in spring and turning a good yellow in autumn. Twigs conspicuously palest grey, almost white, in winter. Very hardy though grows best in warm summer areas of our Isles.
