CLADRASTIS kentukea 'perkins pink'

Description: Sometimes you need a tree, a really big tree, that will continue to make a statement in the landscape long after you are gone. Cladrestis 'Perkins Pink' is such a tree, providing shade, beauty and fragrance on a 30 - 50 foot round-headed tree. Pink (rather than the normal white) pea-like flowers on 12 inch drooping panicles appear in June, with bright green foliage and smooth light grey bark. Fall color is soft golden yellow. Prune only in summer. The original tree is on the grounds of the Perkins School for the Blind, Watertwon, MA.
