Pterocarya fraxinifolia

Anyone who ventures beneath the Pterocarya fraxinifolia (Caucasian wingnut) immediately experiences the tranquility that this stately tree radiates. It is a tree for those who have space and grant it space. It grows into a broad, majestic park tree. When you enjoy its shade, its elegantly pinnate leaves are striking.

In spring, long, yellow-green catkins appear. As the season progresses, its distinctive winged fruits develop from these. In summer, these graceful, long strands sway with the wind among the foliage and contribute to its special appearance.

It is its powerful, broadly expanding trunk that gives the tree its majestic character.
