Native to the southeastern US, the Yellowwood is a deciduous tree with lush, pinnately compound leaves of bright green, rich golden-yellow in fall. In 8–10 years you'll be rewarded with wonderfully fragrant creamy panicles in May that cover the tree like so much wisteria. A legume, the flowers will be followed by entertaining, long, flat, brown seed pods that look exotic. Round crown; typically 30–50' tall, 40–55' wide - strongly branched and well-shaped, it makes a terrific shade tree!

Minimum temperature: -30° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
