trending ! Leatherwood Shrub/tree live Bare Root

This shrub is a really cold-hardy plant, being able to tolerate temperatures down to around -22°f when fully dormant. The flowers are produced in early spring, however, and are very likely to be damaged when the plant is grown in regions with late frosts.
Leatherwood does not burst into bloom. The small bell-shaped pale lemon-yellow flowers with their long bright yellow stamens bloom in clusters slowly open along the branches before the leaves emerge.
It makes a lovely show for our mid south late and exceptionally brown winter (mid February).
Dirca palustris is an early blooming deciduous native shrub. It can be found in rich, moist, neutral soil in woodlands scattered (meaning uncommon) over much of eastern North America. The small yellow flowers first appear in mid February in my middle Tennessee garden and continue into early spring purely in time for small bees to stop by for nectar
This listing is for a leatherwood shrub 2-3 years old incredibly well developed.
