Kentucky coffeetree

[ksgobbler]

Is anybody interested in some Kentucky coffeetree seeds? The kids and myself collected some for a coworker and he decided he didnt want them.

Nice trees, they get BIG, I plant em all the time on city projects as they are as tough as they come.

Ive got a quality specimen and a slightly smaller one down by the creek. Thought about starting a few to plant in the yard. Easy to get when the pods finally drop.

Is there any realistic wildlife/timber value to them? I know where I can find some if I need/want them, but I never really considered them to be of much value that I was aware of. I would think the pods would make a mess in a lawn (I have walnuts).

We have several on our place. I've released a few just for variety. I haven't found a wildlife benefit yet though.

Lol, did you read the comments? Said it smells like vomit. How would you like to build a table or something in a well ventilated shop and bring it in just to notice it reeked of throw-up!

Wildlife? Mammoths, maybe?

I've read very similar articles pertaining to osage orange trees and mega fauna. Interesting stuff.
