Chapman, Douglas J. 1982. Coffeetree works well as city tree. Weeds, Trees & Turf 21(1): 66.
Kentucky coffeetree is an exciting tree that offers potential in parks, as a city street tree or in the individual landscape. It is tolerant of difficult soil conditions, is a good competitor, will thrive when grown in grassy areas, and has few or no insect problems. There are no catastrophic insect or disease problems to affect this plant. It joins a select list of trees well suited as city street trees — hackberry, scarlet oak, honeylocust, and common horsechestnut.
