Amur Corktree

Phellodendron amurense 'Japonica', the Japanese Cork Tree, is a medium-sized deciduous tree known for its broad, spreading canopy and deeply fissured, cork-like bark. Reaching heights of thirty to forty-five feet, it features lustrous dark green pinnate leaves that transition to a vibrant golden yellow in the fall. This hardy species produces small yellowish flowers followed by black berries. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a durable choice for large landscapes.
