Certified Arborists in Canada May Help Preserve Kentucky Coffee Trees
Certified, Canadian arborists do more than just physically care for trees. They also pay attention to those species that are threatened or endangered. One that comes to mind is a fantastic species of shade tree, the Gymnocladis dioicus. Certified Arborists also know it as the Kentucky coffee tree. At one time, people were enamored with its huge leaves, light green flowers and bean pods.
They used the trees for shade and their seed pods in a number of ways. For example, they often used them to prepare medicines, beverages and main entrees. Some people also used the tree’s seeds, flowers and wood to make handicrafts, toys, furniture and other useful items for the home or business.
Now Endangered
However, now that the trees are endangered, Canadians no longer use them for their byproducts. Instead, the trees are primarily planted to help preserve the species and beautify Canadian estates. Naturally, arborists help to make that happen in regions known to have at one time, once harbored wild and cultivated, Kentucky coffee trees.
Although the trees are very pollution, drought and disease tolerant, there is one thing that helps keep them from thriving all across Canada. There just aren’t enough of them. Like other species of trees, they need each other in order to reproduce. So without enough specimens of both genders living in one area; the trees will eventually die without creating their own replacements. Thus, Certified Arborists generally recommend estate owners plant one Kentucky coffee tree of each sex on their respective properties.
