Kentucky Coffeetree is a large native deciduous tree in the pea family. It is not a true coffee tree. The name comes from early settlers who roasted and ground the seeds as a coffee substitute, though the raw seeds and pods are toxic.
It reaches about 60–75 feet tall and 40–50 feet wide, matching your listing size of 70 × 50. The form is irregular and coarse in youth, then opens into an upright oval or rounded crown with age. The branches are stout and picturesque, especially in winter.
The leaves are the standout feature. They are bipinnately compound and can reach 3 feet long by 2 feet wide, emerging pink-bronze in late spring before turning dark blue-green. Fall color is usually a clear yellow. Female trees produce large reddish-brown pods that persist into winter; male trees do not. Use a male cultivar like Espresso or Prairie Titan if you want the same look without the pod litter.
This is one of the toughest urban trees available. It handles drought, alkaline soil, compaction, and pollution once established. It is native across much of the central and eastern United States.
