Dirca palustris
leatherwood
This slow-growing shrub takes the habit of a tree, developing a long trunk beneath its leafy crown. Small yellow flowers dangle from stems in the early spring right before leaves emerge; the lime-green leaves contrast nicely with the branches and contribute beatifully to the wooded landscape.
