Not Your Ordinary Trees in the Greenbelt
.
American Yellowwood trees pictured below are uncommon in Indiana and are only found occurring naturally Yellowwood State Forest in Brown County. They are considered a threatened species. However the State Tree Nursery near Medora grows them from seed collected in Yellowwood State Forest and in 2003 we planted 10 seedlings from there. At least two of the trees have survived. One is at the far west end near Greenlee and the other is toward the east end about 100 feet south of the sidewalk. Central Indiana is at the northern end of their range. The American Yellowwood can put on one of the most spectacular flowering displays of any tree species. The blossoms appear in late spring, when numerous wisteria-like foot-long flower clusters droop from the branches. The color is normally white, but can be pink. In either case, a mature tree in full bloom is a stunning sight. Unfortunately, many people have never seen the tree in bloom. The blossoms develop into bean-like pods that can hang on the branches into winter. Leaves are pinnately compound, usually with about seven leaflets. They turn a clear yellow, or sometimes gold-orange, before dropping in autumn. Smooth gray bark and a rounded form give the tree a handsome look in winter. Yellowwood can make an excellent mid-size lawn tree. Its deep taproot gives it drought resistance and allows other plants to grow beneath it. It also tolerates our alkaline soils. Its main drawback is that it is rather slow growing, and often doesn’t begin to bloom until it is about ten years old. It also has brittle wood that can break in storms, so it shouldn’t be planted near a house or other structure.
The Blue Beech or American Hornbeam shown below is a little more common with 8 or 10 individuals growing in the Greenbelt. It is also often called Ironwood because of its very hard and dense wood and Musclewood because of the muscle like appearance of the trunk. It is small tree usually growing no more than 30 feet tall. It is typically an understory tree in the mixed hardwood forests of the Eastern US.
