It is a great tree!
I have one in my N Utah 7a yard that is beginning to bloom, 5/24/23. I planted the 5 gal tree in June 2002! It’s about 30-35 ft tall now and I’ve only noticed it bloom once before in 21 yrs!
that's fantastic, it's amazing in bloom!
It is always wonderful to see a specimen of C. kentukea in southern Ontario. In my experience, though, it is rather weak-wooded. Consequently, even middle-aged specimens often seem to have less-than-ideal form.
It is a great tree. Nice to see cities planting them now. Good choice for high pH soils like most of southern ontario. The weak wood is definitely unfortunate. I wonder if pruning techniques would help?
Beautiful tree! Just saw one at the MN Landscape arboretum and am considering one as a front yard specimen to replace a 50+ year ash tree my grandma had planted just after they bought the house in the 70s. It sadly had to come down this year due to EAB. Still deciding on if the flower/seed pod litter and weak limbs are worth putting up with since it does have a "wow" factor and you don't see them often.
It's a great tree. The pods tend to decompose decent compared to other pod dropping fruits. Limb damage is this plants downfall but pruning to force the limbs to be more upright could be helpful! If your soil pH is on the higher side it's also a great choice because it's naturally found on limestone soils. It's a tree worth while!
