A genus of small trees in the legume family, native to North America and Asia, producing fragrant white flowers and known as yellowwood.
From Greek 'klados' (branch) + 'drastis' (breaking or biting). Named for the tendency of branches to break easily or the sharp taste of the wood.
Yellowwood trees produce some of the most stunning white flower displays in spring, and their yellow heartwood was historically used to make natural dyes—beauty and utility combined.
