Description
The Kentucky coffee tree is an amazing species boasting a variety of unique traits. Not only is it a resilient and long-lived species, but also it provides a source of nitrogen-fixing power for its environment. On top of its ecological benefits, its majestic form gives it an uncanny beauty. It grows in an umbrella or vase shape, with a wide canopy of feathery-looking foliage and bark that is deeply furrowed into scaly plates. During the summer it is draped with long, drooping clusters of fragrant white blooms, and in the fall people can enjoy its clusters of large brown seed-filled pods that can be roasted and brewed into a distinct coffee-like beverage.
