Overview

Jacktree is a species of deciduous tree found in East Asia. It grows up to 25 feet tall, with a broad, open canopy and a straight or slightly contorted trunk. Its dark brown bark is scaly looking and deeply ridged. The foliage is dense and green during the summer, providing ample shade. In autumn, the leaves turn yellow and orange, providing beautiful contrast against its backdrop. The fragrant white flowers of jacktree are a special treat, appearing in Spring and then fading away in summer. It is hardy and drought tolerant, making it a great choice for gardens or landscapes, providing texture and colourful foliage year-round.
