Kentucky Coffee Tree, Gymnocladus dioicus, Tree Seeds
Fast Growth, Hardy, Easy to Grow, Fragrant Flowers, Fall Colors, Shade Tree, Street Tree, Cold, Heat, Drought and Urban Tolerant Kentucky Coffee Tree is a tall deciduous tree with rough, scaly gray-brown bark and large bipinnate compound leaves. It is native to Central and Eastern North America. It grows 60 to 80 feet tall with an irregular open oval to obovate crown. Large leaves to 3 feet long, divided into 3 to 7 pairs of pinnae, with individual leaflets 1 to 3 inches long. Leaflets are blue-green in summer, turning yellow in fall. Larger trees typically cast light shade. As the specific epithet suggests, the species is dioecious (separate male and female trees). Greenish white flowers appear in late spring. Male flowers in clusters to 4 inches long. Female flowers in panicles to 12 inches long. Female flowers are fragrant. Fertilized female flowers give way to flattened reddish brown pods to 10 inches long which ripen in October and persist well into winter.
Native Americans and early American settlers, especially those in the Kentucky territory, roasted and ground the seeds to brew a coffee-like beverage (albeit no caffeine), hence the common name. Native Americans roasted the seeds for food. Seeds are very toxic prior to roasting and should never be eaten fresh off the tree. Trees are late to leaf out in spring and are one of the first to drop leaves in the fall. Genus name is from Greek gymnos (naked) and cladus (branch) in probable reference to the absence of foliage for about 1/2 of the year.
Leaf: Alternate, bipinnately compound, very large (1 to 3 feet long), with numerous 1 1/2 to 2 inch ovate leaflets, entire margins, green above, slightly paler below.
Flower: Dioecious; males and females in long (3 to 4 inch) branched clusters, whitish, appearing in late spring.
Fruit: Reddish brown, flat thickened pod, 3 to 8 inches long, 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide, contains 6 or more dark brown seeds imbeded in a sticky pulp, ripen in late summer.
Twig: Very stout, light brown with whitish patches, somewhat zigzag or wavy, large heart-shaped leaf scar, salmon colored pith; buds small and sunken.
Bark: Dark grayish brown, scaly, developing deep fissures with scaly ridges.
Other Names: Kentucky Coffeetree
Zone: 3 to 8
Growth rate: Rapid growth rate in youth, slowing to a medium growth rate with maturity.
Plant Type: Large Deciduous Tree
Family: Fabaceae (Pea Family)
Native Range: Central and Eastern North America
Height: 60 to 80 feet
Spread: 40 to 55 feet
Shape: Upright irregular growth habit in youth but becoming upright oval to upright rounded and symmetrical with maturity.
Bloom Time: May to June
Bloom Color: White to Greenish-white
Sun: Full sun
Fall Color: Yellow
Drought Tolerance: High
Water: Medium
Maintenance: Low
Site Requirements /Soil Tolerances: Best grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates poorer soils and drought. Avoid heavy clays. Also adapts well to urban conditions.
Uses: Good landscape tree for large lawns and parks. Male trees are generally considered more desirable because of the lack of seed pods.
However, mature female trees with hanging seedpods can be very attractive in outline against a winter sky.
Sowing Seeds:
Scarify: Lightly sand the seed with sandpaper or a file, then pour hot water over seeds and soak in water for 24 hours.
Stratify: None
Germination: Sow 1” to 2” Deep For more information about seed pretreatment and growing trees and shrubs from seed, please download. pdf: https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/documents/1449/fcpg018.pdf
Germination:
Seed is not a specific Cultivar (Variety) unless specified in the listing. Due to the many factors involved in successful germination, Seller cannot be responsible for buyers growing methods or mistakes. I have provided what I believe to be a good overview on this page (which you are free to print for further reference), however, it is still recommended to check specialist literature for more details and practices specific to your climate and soil conditions to avoid mistakes in the germination and growing process.
International Buyer’s:
It is the buyer’s responsibility to know their countries customs laws. Plant and plant materials including seeds may be restricted from importing to your country.
