Year planted: 2021

Country of origin: Quebec to North Mexico

Year introduced: 1629

Description: Outside of its native origins will grow to about 20m. Called because of its curling flaky bark which projects outwards and does not easily fall off. The leaves are yellow green which are pinnate with 5 to 7 leaflets and up to 30cm long. The flowers easily suffer from spring frosts so its nuts are seldom seen in cooler climates.
