Amur Corktree is a large, shade-providing tree known for its broad canopy and unique textured bark. Its deep green, compound leaves create a lush, tropical feel during the growing season, turning yellow in fall for added seasonal interest. As it matures, the bark develops a distinctive corky texture, adding visual appeal year-round. Its wide-spreading form makes it an excellent choice for parks, large yards, or areas where generous shade is desired.
Standout Feature:
Distinctive cork-like bark that becomes more pronounced and attractive with age.
Interesting Fact:
Amur Corktree is highly tolerant of urban conditions, including pollution and compacted soils, but female trees produce berries that can lead to unwanted spreading in some areas.
