PTELEA trifoliata

A small tree or large shrub with a dense, rounded crown that prefers well- drained soils in sun or shade but will adapt to a wide range of soils. The lustrous dark green foliage and fragrant clusters of flowers that give way to winged hop-like fruit in late summer and fall make it a great addition to the shrub border or naturalized landscape. Host plant for Tiger Swallowtail Butterflies. Plant grown from Native Ohio seed.
