Because
of a devastating blight of the American chestnut, this tree
has sometimes been an alternate choice. It is acceptable, but
not nearly as handsome. It produces a foul-smelling flower
in the spring which should be avoided. The nuts it produces
are also bothersome.
|
| Height: 40’-60’ with
an equal spread. |
| Leaves: 3”-6” long,
2”-3-1/2” wide. Alternate, simple. Lustrous dark
green above, whitish hairs or green beneath, changing to shades
of bronze and yellow in autumn. |
| Habitat: Native
to northern China and Korea. Adapts well to hot, dry climates. |
