(Gymnocladus dioicus 'Espresso')
#10 Container
Don’t be intimidated by the meager-looking “stick” when you pick up this soon-to-be stately tree. A late bloomer every year, with a slow growth rate, your patience will be rewarded with interesting flowers and architecture when mature. Plant this tree in an open location on the west or east side of your home. Don't worry, this is the seedless variety so you do not have to deal with a mess in your yard!
