YELLOWWOOD:

Elevate your landscape with timeless appeal

Meet the Yellowwood tree (Cladrastis kentukea), a Missouri native that brings versatility and ornamental charm to any landscape. Growing 30-50 feet tall, this standout tree offers smooth gray bark, fragrant white flowers in spring, and a brilliant yellow display in fall. Its broad canopy delivers excellent shade, making it a top pick for enhancing patios, yards, and gardens in residential and commercial projects.

Yellowwood shines with multi-seasonal appeal and easy care. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil and keep it well-watered for the first few years to establish strong roots. While its branches may be prone to ice storm damage, a little pruning goes a long way to keep it thriving. Add the Yellowwood to your lineup for a low-maintenance tree that promises beauty, shade and client satisfaction!

It’s not too early to contact us for fall orders including RPM-produced yellowwood in #3 containers. Ready to plant your yellowwood? Watch our expert-led YouTube video for step-by-step tips on proper tree planting.

Spring showers awaken the earth with life, but beneath their charm lies a challenge: a rush of rainwater that can flood our landscapes and strain our waterways. What if we could turn those rains into a powerful ally—nurturing beauty, conserving resources, and safeguarding nature? Meet rain gardens and bioswales, clever designs that reduce stormwater runoff by up to 30% with just one garden. These living landscapes capture and filter water, transforming it into vibrant backyard ecosystems.
