Kentucky Coffee Tree (Gymnocladus dioicus)

2 year old bareroot seedling 7"-12" *limited amounts*

Kentucky coffee tree is an increasingly rare and hard to find tree with its native range extending north to the shores of lake Erie in Ontario. This tree is an evolutionary holdout and will be extinct before we know it due to things like a shifting climate and the lack of its common seed dispersal mechanism in the giant mega fauna of the Holocene (think wooly mammoths and the like). Great to plant for an integrated livestock fodder system, if you're raising elephants. Seriously though it is a beautiful tree that can reach enormous heights and large diameters. The seeds can be roasted to make a dark black coffee drink, but are otherwise poisonous.
