Growing Tips & Maintenance
- A good landscape tree for parks and large lawn areas. It has a striking winter silhouette. Seed pods, while visually attractive, can cause messy litter drop.
Note
Additional Notes
- Native to Ontario and mid to eastern U.S.A.Listed as a Threatened Species in Ontario under the Species at Risk Act.Native Americans and early American settlers, especially those in the Kentucky area, roasted and ground the seeds to brew a coffee-like beverage (albeit no caffeine), hence the common name. Seeds are toxic unless roasted.The flowers provide nectar for various insects. Because the foliage and seeds are poisonous, few animals will browse them.
