The cascading white flowers of Yellowwood are one of the most spectacular shows among large flowering trees. The native tree has a rounded habit with smooth, gray bark--very beechlike in appearance. The fragrant flowers bloom in late May into early June. Foliage turns golden in fall. An excellent specimen tree that grows 30-50' tall with a spread of 40-55'. Hardy to Zone 4.
