Description:
This yellowwood tree is found on the hill leading down to Marsh Botanical Gardens. Yellowwood is a medium sized (about 30 to 50 feet tall) tree that is native to North America. The tree is famous for its beautiful white flowers in late spring, early summer and yellow foliages in the fall. However, the tree is not found easily in the wild, and most wild yellowood population exists near limestone cliffs in the Midwest states like Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
