Cladrastis lutea (American Yellow Wood) is a deciduous tree that grows at a slow rate to eventually reach 30-50 feet tall. It has a broad, rounded crown and large yellow leaves in spring that mature to bright green in summer and turn back to yellow again in the fall.
American Yellow Wood has white, fragrant, pendulous panicle flowers in early summer that resemble Wisteria blossoms. It can take roughly 10 years for them to bloom.
It is a deeply rooted tree which allows you to grow other plants beneath it. It prefers well-drained, moist, sandy soils in full sun.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize annually with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote healthy growth.
