The Kentucky coffee tree, which can attain heights of over 50', has a distinguished habit with coarse, irregular branches. It is good for parks and other large, open spaces. This tree produces huge twice-compound leaves with a tropical look. Each leaf can measure up to 3' long and is further divided into seven to nine segments of eight to 14 small leaflets. 'Kentucky Colonel' is a male clone that lacks the woody seed pods that are considered either a novelty or nuisance. In winter, this dark-barked tree creates a distinctive form against the barren landscape; in summer, its leaves turn dark bluish-green; and fall brings a lovely yellow. A tree for all seasons.
