This is a large, rugged, deciduous tree reaching 75 to 100 feet in height, with dark furrowed bark and wide-spreading branches. The well-formed trunk is usually devoid of branches a considerable distance from the ground. Yellow-green leaflets emerge in late spring and turn clear yellow in the fall, and the fruit is a hard-shelled furrowed nut enclosed in a green husk. This tree grows best in full sun and moist, rich, well-drained soil.
