Dwarf Kentucky Coffee Tree

last year

I’ve been keeping an eye on this plant at the Minnesota Landscape Arb for about twenty years. I’m not sure of its origin or how the MLA came about it, but I want one! The arb has a history of selecting KCT’s, so I’m hopeful it will come to fruition. Any thoughts on it?

Interesting. Mine have kept a single trunk up a fair way -- that one is very branchy.

Oh thats awesome! Its interesting to me how ’branchy’ looking it is under that canopy. The full size ones always look so sparse to me in winter.
