Mature
trees have deeply ridged corky bark. Although not widely planted
in Pittsburgh, some nice examples can be found in our parks
and along our streets. Visit Highland Park to find several
of these trees just off Reservoir Drive between the Super Playground
and the reservoirs. This tree’s common name comes from
the distinctive corky, gray-brown bark. It has a short trunk
with bold spreading limbs.

been a problem in Pittsburgh. Native to China,
Manchuria and Japan. |
